Notes[edit]
- ^ a b c At the 2021 World Championships, in accordance with a ban by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and a decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), judokas from Russia were not permitted to use the Russian name, flag, or anthem. They instead participated as "the team of the Russian Judo Federation (RJF)", and used the flag of the Russian Olympic Committee.
- ^ a b At the 2023 World Championships, in accordance with sanctions imposed following by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, judokas from Russia were not permitted to use the name, flag, or anthem of Russia. They instead participated as "Individual Neutral Athletes (AIN)", their medals were not included in the official medal table.
- ^ During the final between Teddy Riner and Inal Tasoev, there was one situation where neither the referee on the mat nor the IJF Refereeing Commission gave any score. Following a thorough expert analysis, according to the current refereeing rules, a score could have been awarded for Inal Tasoev's counterattack. Therefore, the IJF declares both athletes as the winners of the contest and award a gold medal and the corresponding ranking points to Inal Tasoev.
- ^ Unlike 2013, Kelmendi did not compete under the Kosovo flag but under the International Judo Federation flag.
- ^ At the 2018 World Championships, judokas from North Korea and South Korea completed for unified Korean team in the Mixed team competition.
