Iranian team to skip World Judo Championship to avoid competing against Israelis
Iranian judokas will boycott the World Judo Championship in Tokyo next week, despite a public promise issued by Iran’s Olympic committee in May that its athletes would cease boycotting such competitions for political reasons.

Story continues below advertisementIn a move that should surprise no one, Iranian judokas will boycott the World Judo Championship 2019 in Tokyo next week, despite a public promise issued by Iran’s Olympic committee that its athletes would cease boycotting such competitions for political reasons.The Israeli national team had believed that only Iranian judokas in specific weight classes would refuse to compete against Israelis, but the Iranian team, it now appears, won’t arrive in Tokyo altogether.
In May, the International Judo Federation and media celebrated Iran’s declaration that it would no longer boycott athletes from certain countries, but it was clear, even then, that they had no intention of ever competing against Israeli judokas.
The IJF said in a statement at the time that the Iranian commitment came after several rounds of talks regarding a “disturbing phenomenon” in which Iranian athletes suddenly claim “injuries” or intentionally fail their weigh-ins to avoid meeting athletes from certain countries, alluding to Israel.
Perhaps the most famous incident was the decision by two-time judo world champion Arash Miresmaeili, who deliberately showed up overweight for his bout against an Israeli at the 2004 Athens Olympics and was disqualified.

Iran has such a formidable Judo team, it is a shame what they do to the Iranian Judokas, disgusting.
There is no such thing as a perzhun (ireenian) judoka. They don’t know the difference between an ippon seo nagi and a sumi otoshi. Bunch of poosies that couldn’t throw a three week old kitten.
you are wrong
I am correct. Calling my statement “wrong” is a bald faced lie.
It’s a bigger shame what the f’ing muslum vermin in Iran do to:
Bahai’
Zoroastrians
Jews
Christians
Absolutely but it adds to the shame and they are proud for ther wrestling what judo is part of.
Judo is not a part of wrestling. They are different sports with different governing bodies. Iran excels in both.
you have strike fight sports like boxing, karate, Escrima-Arnis, Muai-Thai…
and you have wrestle sports like free styl, Greco Roman, Submission wrestling, Mongolian, Georgian and Indian wrestling, you have BJJ
Sport Sambo and JUDO which are wrestling sports.
of course each of them has nothing to do with the other but in MMA you see, they do the same thing all of them.
😉
The judo federation and the Olympic committee should ban these creeps. Has the Olympic Federation learned nothing from their revolting behavior in the Nazi Olympics? I tend to think not.
Muslims fear losing to Jews and they would lose to them.
Islamo-chickens.
further reason to lay waste to tehran 40 years after declared war on us
It is just as well. If one of Iran’s athletes lost their match to a Jewish competitor you could expect him to be hung from a construction crane as is normally the punishment for common criminals.
That’s also the way the genocidal towelheads deal with LGBT. But the America-hating, illiberal and mentally deranged left sides with these genocidal monsters.
Iran is not competing because they knew they would be embarrassed and humiliated by the Jewish athletes. Kinda like “rhymes with hitler”, who knows deep down that he is totally inferior to ALL Jewish people everywhere, which is why he rants incessantly about his anti-Semiticism.
This makes very plain why the regime needs to go!
They will be missed…NOT!
AHHHH! The PEACE the islamics bring. BECAUSE they refused to show up without their knives, guns, trucks, acid, etc., etc.. Time to ban islam from all international athletic activities which they refuse to participate in due to HATRED!!!!!!!!!!
OK
Excellent headline. Now we know how to get rid of the radical MEs in America…bring in more Jews. America was founded on Judaeo Christian principles and laws….it will be a nice fit for our country. :0)
Those cowards would loose against Israel anyway. Then they would of cause dish up some pre-prepared lies why the match was ‘unfair’. Israel should not even waste their time with those ragheads.
The Israeli judokas are among the world’s best. The real reason for the decision by the genocidal towelheads in Tehran is that they would once again have their filthy asses kicked by J*ws.
If my memory serves me correctly, I seem to remember an incident where the Muslim did go up against an Israeli. He is really things to mop rather quickly. At the end of the match the Muslim refused to shake the Israelis hand. I believe he was find for poor sportsmanship or something. Of course they cannot compete because when they lose they will show everybody that they are not Superior to everyone.
The real story: The Mullahs are broke and can’t afford to send a team to Tokyo.
The Moozer Says:
We all have pride in the Israeli athletes who have changed the name of JUDO to JEW -DO !!!
We’re all proud of our Israeli athletes but no athlete of any kind wants to win by forfeit or walkoff.
