An Iranian defector who won the Olympic silver medal for Mongolia in judo has dedicated it to Israel – saying “Thank you” in Hebrew for the country’s support.
Saeid Mollaei left his native country after his coaches ordered him to lose in the semifinals of the 2019 World Championships in Tokyo to avoid facing the Israeli Sagi Muki in the final, the Times of Israel reported.
The judoka moved to Germany before acquiring Mongolian citizenship.
He told the Israeli Sports Channel that he appreciated all the support he received from the Jewish state as he pursued his Olympic dreams.
“Thank you to Israel for the good energy. This medal is dedicated also to Israel. I hope the Israelis are happy with this win,” Mollaei told the network, adding in Hebrew, “Todah.”

There are tons of Iranian Jews. A lot of them fled after the revolution in the 70s but they are still a large population in Iran and around the world.
By the way, did you know that a large part of the population of Beverly Hills are people of an Iranian Jewish background?

About 30% of the Brentwood area in LA is Persian.

Iranian coaches knew they'd get killed by their own government if they lost to the Israelis.

Will Mike Tirico wax poetic about the bravery and perseverance of this Medalist tonight or does that not fit the NBC Olympic narrative?

He pretty much sticks to waxing poetic about Americans. You might want to tune in to the Mongolian TV feed for more on this winner.

In February, Mollaei took home the silver at the Grand Slam international judo competition in Tel Aviv – telling CNN that Israel had been “very good to me since I arrived,”
That’s freedom you’re tasting, bro. Drink it in.

Mollaei’s message of goodwill comes after two athletes dropped out of the Olympics before facing Israeli judoka Tohar Butbul in the 73-kilogram division. Sudan’s Mohamed Abdalrasool didn’t show up to face Butbul in their round of 32 bout Monday despite weighing in for it earlier.
Algeria’s Fethi Nourine was sent home from Tokyo and suspended by the International Judo Foundation on Saturday after he withdrew to avoid a potential matchup with the Israeli.
The Algerian, who is ranked 31st, explicitly cited his support for Palestinians for his decision in the Olympics.
