The scrap is said to have started in the stands before spilling onto the mat
Khabib Magomedov, one of the judo trainers and eyewitness to the brawl, revealed the scrap started in the stands.
The trainer is reported as saying Ossetian fans took exception to a remark from a Dagestani spectator.
The fans quickly came to blows, with more and more supporters dragged into the melee.
Within seconds, the spectators had spilled onto the mats, with the young competitors quickly getting involved, throwing fists and kicking out seemingly at anyone who got in their way.
According to reports in Russia, Magemodov said: “It all started when the athletes wrestled for more than ten minutes.
“One of the Dagestani spectators either shouted, or waved his hand, or shouted ‘Hurray!’
“The Ossetian fans did not like it.
“A fight began which the athletes were dragged into, as an eyewitnesses explained to me.”
