(Jerusalem Post) Israeli judoka Ori Sasson, 25, defeated Egyptian opponent Islam el-Shehaby in the 100+ kg division Friday at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Following his defeat, however, el-Shehaby refused to shake hands with the Israeli, which led to booing from the crowd. As he attempted to leave, el-Shehaby was ordered back into the center of the judo mat by the referee and eventually gave a slight bow to Sasson. "There is no obligation for shaking hands at the end of the fight, but it is compulsory to bow, that's why the Egyptian was called back," said International Judo Federation spokesman Nicolas Messner. "In the past, it is not sure that a fight between those two athletes would have taken place. This is already a big improvement." 2016-08-15 00:00:00Full Article
