‘Olympic level karma’ unsportsmanlike conduct goes horribly wrong for Judo Olympian
As a passionate fan of sports and the Olympics, I was utterly disappointed by the unsportsmanlike conduct displayed by Tajikistan judoka athlete Nurali Emomali during his match against Israel’s Baruch Shmailov. The scene unfolded at the 2024 Paris Olympics on July 29, during the 66-kilogram Judo event.
2024 Paris Olympics left people buzzing with a remarkable incident unfolding in the 66-kg Judo competition on Sunday, July 29.
Nurali Emomali, a judoka athlete from Tajikistan, refused to shake hands with his opponent Baruch Shmailov from Israel during their match. Additionally, Emomali was heard shouting “Allah Akbar,” which translates to “God is the greatest.” The incident left many questioning if this display of unacceptable behavior was connected to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Regardless of the motivation, Emomali faced criticism for disrespecting the rules of sportsmanship and demonstrating unsportsmanlike conduct.
In the course of Emomali’s quarterfinal bout against Hifumi Abe from Japan, he suffered an injury that required him to leave the match entirely. It seems his shoulder might be out of joint.
Nurali Emomali refused to shake Baruch Shmailov’s hand and immediately paid for it
At the Olympics, Tajikistan’s controversial sports figure Nurali Emomali refused to engage in a handshake with Israeli judo competitor Baruch Shmailov and instead shouted “Allah Akbar.” The unexpected encounter resulted in Emomali dislocating his shoulder during the match, leaving him in tears on the mat. A stark reminder of the high stakes and unpredictable nature of competition. #Olympics

As reported by FOX News, Abderrahmane Boushita from Morocco declined to shake hands with his Russian opponent Shmailov following their Judo match, which the Israeli athlete won. Israel boasts one of the largest Judo teams, fielding a total of twelve competitors, out of whom four participated on Sunday. It’s plausible that similar incidents may occur in future matches.
