Saudi Arabian forfeits Olympic judo match, possibly to avoid Israeli
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn Rio, where the second day of Olympic Games are getting underway, Saudi Arabian Joud Fahmy forfeits her first round judo match against Christianne Legentil from Mauritius, perhaps to avoid the possibility of facing Israeli Gili Cohen in the next round.
Cohen and Legentil are slated to face off in the 52 kg round of 16 competition in the next hour.
On the men’s side, Israeli Golan Pollack is readying to match up against Mathews Punza from Zambia in the 66kg competition.
