Speech at the awards ceremony for the winners of judo competitions

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Friends, athletes and competitors, dear guests,

I would like to begin by thanking our guests for coming to Russia to participate in these competitions.

My thanks to the International Judo Federation and to my colleagues, including of course, the heads of state and government who take the time to come here and enjoy this great sport.

My best wishes to the winners – this is a youth tournament, and it is good that these young men and women achieve great results at such a young age. But sports in general and judo in particular have confirmed many times that to achieve real, major victories one needs to maintain ongoing progress and never stop.

Therefore, I wish you all success in sports and in your lives. Your dedication and talent will definitely open up a wonderful road to the future, and sports will always be with you and help you in any of your endeavours.

Good luck!
