When (Former) Iranian Judoka Saeid Mollaei Met Israel’s Din Yaacov Gemer

At the World Judo Championships in Hungary, former Iranian-turned-Mongolian judoka Saeid Mollaei competed against Israel’s Din Yaacov Gemer, defeating his young opponent.

But what happened immediately after the bout ended shows everyone was a winner.
