Israeli taekwondo athlete Adnan Milad loses 30-7 in the quarterfinal to Turkey’s Mahmut Bozteke at the 2024 Paris Paralympics, sending him to a repechage match against an Iranian opponent.
Milad is now slated this evening to face Iran’s Saeid Sadeghianpour, who is widely expected to withdraw rather than compete against the Arab-Israeli Paralympian.
If Milad’s opponent withdraws, the Israeli fighter will automatically advance to tonight’s bronze medal match.
Earlier a Tunisian Paralympian withdrew rather than compete against Israel’s Nadav Levi in boccia.
