Notes
- Russian judokas participated under name and flag of the International Judo Federation (IJF) as a result of sanctions imposed following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Unlike 2023 and 2024 World Championships (at which Russian judokas participated as Individual Neutral Athletes), the IJF does include the medals won by these judokas in the official medal table.[6]
