history. Said Moulay, the Iranian judoka, won the silver medal at the Tel Aviv Grand Slam tonight (Friday). After the well-publicized arrival in the country and of course the series of threats and sanctions he left behind, the judoka who received respect from the crowd did lose in the final weighing up to 81 kg to Sharopidin Boltboev from Uzbekistan, but he is without a doubt the real winner of this day.
Even before the final, Mulai met in the first battle with the Azeri Zalim Tetzkayev, who defeated Segev Ben Harush and prevented the Israeli from meeting the Iranian. Mulai started competing in the second round and defeated Hazari after two Vasari. In his second fight in the third round, the Iranian defeated the Italian Antonio Esposito in Vasari and thus qualified for the quarterfinals of the competition.
For the past eight years, Moulay Bazari has beaten German Dominic Russell. In the semifinals, the Iranian defeated Aslan Lefingov of Russia and thus secured a medal on Israeli soil. As you may recall, Sagi Muki was eliminated earlier and thus avoided a meeting between the two in a battle for a medal.
