Interesting because the Canadian fencer was born in Israel and is Jewish, but the Iranian is still competing.

Fencing must be today, the sport with the most surprises so far. A lot of high seeds lost their first matches in the W Epee and now we have interesting results in the men as well.

as other user said, Iran doesn't face Israeli athletes, and only when they represent Israel (which is still stupid) I mean CZE basketball team has an Israeli head coach and that's no problem. we had footballers in European clubs with Israeli team mates.

 

and it seems most people don't know that there are Jews in Iran. not too many but still.
