Russian and Belarusian participation controversy
The International Judo Federation (IJF) announced on 29 April 2023, the last day of event registration, that Russian and Belarusian athletes would be allowed to participate as individual neutral athletes following background checks. Following the announcement, twenty Russian and Belarusian athletes were registered were entered into the championships. Of the twenty, at least five were reported to have ties to the Russian Armed Forces, despite the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) suggestion to deny participation of athletes who are contracted to the Russian or Belarusian military or national security agencies. In protest, the Ukrainian team withdrew from the championships.
