The United Arab Emirates strangely still have not lost the right to organize international events, so we had this yesterday. Tal Flicker of Israel won the gold medal in his category. I mean, Tal Flicker of the international judo federation. It really is time to kick these events out of medievel countries that can't even simply hoist a flag and play an anthem when someone wins

What exactly is 'this'?  

 

The UAE/Israel situation, Turkey getting another top athlete from another country or something I haven't seen yet?

Turkish shopping

 

That Turkey buys became normal, but that Slovenia has problems to finance athletes is weird

Very sad news from Syria

After a shell landed on the judo training center in Damascus on November 20, 2017, where 20 players and three coachs were present for their daily judo session, the Syrian Judo Federation sadly announced that two of their players, Diaa Aldeen Badr and Ahmed Khanji passed away during the attack.

Ten other athletes were injured, with medium to dangerous injuries, and the three coaches were seriously touched, while the judo center had significant material damages.

The IJF President also immediately announced that the International Judo Federation will put in place direct aid in order to help re-build the dojo and that a moment of silence will be observed at Tokyo Grand slam, during the opening ceremony.

Japan is doing quite alright at the Grand Slam in Tokyo.
