Egyptian judo player Islam El Shehany refused to shake hands with his Israeli opponent, Or Sasson, after losing out to him in their match today, Friday August 12 at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
He may have succumbed to emotions from old tensions between both nations … or simply didn’t take the loss very well. Nonetheless, it’s a tradition to bow to each other at all judo matches
El Shehany however felt reluctant to bow to his opponent and also refused a handshake after losing – which is a breach of judo protocol.
Very sad. Egyptian Judoka Islam El Shehaby refuses to shake hands with Israeli Ori Sasson after losing. https://t.co/vZYZZZhItq— Raphael Gellar (@Raphael_Gellar) August 12, 2016
