Islam el shehaby biography of rory

Speedway GP. All Sports. Alpine Skiing. Cross-Country Skiing. After his defeat, El Shehaby lay flat on his back for a moment before standing to take his place before Sasson, in front of the referee. When Sasson extended his hand to the Egyptian, El Shehaby backed away, shaking his head and shunning Sasson. El Shehaby's conduct was widely condemned as unsportsmanlike.

It is especially disrespectful considering it was a clean throw and a fair match. It was completely dishonourable and totally unsportsmanlike on the part of the Egyptian. El Shehaby's refusal to shake hands had precedent, in actions by another member of Egypt's team. Prior to competing, El Shehaby had been urged to forfeit the match by Egyptian Islamists and nationalists, as Iranian Javad Mahjoub had done years earlier in forfeiting a match against Or Sasson.

The committee also stated that what he did was a personal action. Both the International Olympic Committee and the International Judo Federation stated that they would review the incident, to see if action should be taken. Following his defeat and the related controversy, El Shehaby announced he was retiring from judo. The Ethics Committee and the Disciplinary Committee of the International Olympic Committee issued a "severe reprimand" to El Shehaby for behavior violating "the rules of fair play and against the spirit of friendship embodied in the Olympic Values", and he was reportedly sent home before the Olympics closing ceremony.
