Humiliating loss for a Saudi player against an Israeli in Tokyo Olympics

After insisting on provoking the feelings of Arabs and Muslims and shaking hands with the representative of the Zionist entity, the criminal killer, and after the honorable Arab withdrawal, which the Zionist newspapers considered an insult to the Zionist entity, Saudi Arabia suffered a humiliating defeat in judo competitions at the Tokyo Olympics, where she was humiliated by her Israeli competitor Raz Hershko this morning. Friday, after she and Saudi sports officials insisted on participating and not boycotting, as Algerian and Sudanese players did.

Israeli Hershko won (11-0) in the over 78 kg competitions and ended her Saudi competitor’s career in the Tokyo Olympics.

Tweeters criticized the Saudi player and said that she lost herself before losing the championship, noting that all that Israel wants is Arab recognition of her and recognition of her legitimacy through sports normalization and others.

And the Saudi Olympic Committee said in a tweet on Twitter: “The Saudi judoka, Tahani Al-Qahtani, finished her first participation in the Olympic Games after losing in the final round of the judo competition.

“It was a normal match,” Al-Qahtani told AFP after the match. I lost, but my feeling is normal and in the end this is a sport.”

When asked about the controversy surrounding this meeting, Al-Qahtani, the blonde-haired woman who was wearing a green judo outfit with the palm tree logo symbolizing Saudi Arabia, added: “I am not interested. I turned off my phone for the past two days.”

Laughing, she indicated that she “shaken hands with the player three times”, hinting that she is waiting for what the reaction will be now on social media, stressing that she is now looking “to the future, there are other competitions, and perhaps I will be in Paris 2024.”

Members of the Saudi mission in Japan refused to comment on the match, saying only that “Tahani played and lost.”

This confrontation comes in contrast to the wave of withdrawals announced by a number of Arab and Muslim athletes with Israeli players.
