Tahani Alqahtani, a Saudi Arabian judoka, fought against her Israeli opponent, Raz Hershko, in the over-78kg women's category on Saturday after mounting pressure to follow two Muslim athletes who boycotted their bouts against Israeli athletes earlier in the Olympic Games.At the end of the bout, Alqahtani and Hershko clasped each other's hands and raised them in the air as a show of solidarity.There was doubt over whether the bout would happen after two judokas in the 73kg men's category boycotted their bouts rather than take on their Israeli opponents.Tahani Alqahtani of Saudi Arabia, left, and Raz Hershko of Israel clasp hands after competing in their women's +78kg judo match. AP Photo/Vincent ThianThe first to withdraw from the 73kg men's event was Algerian judoka Fethi Nourine, who, after seeing the competition draw, decided to quit knowing that he would have to face Israeli fighter Tohar Butbut en route to the podium. Nourine was set to face Sudan's Mohamed Abdalrasool in his first bout and had a good chance of facing Butbul in the second round.This is the second time Nourine has withdrawn from a tournament because he was bound to face Butbul. The first one was at the 2019 World Championships in Japan, where after his first-round win, he pulled out of his second-round bout against Butbul. He said at the time that it was part of a protest in solidarity with Palestinians.After Nourine pulled out of the Olympic Games, the International Judo Federation withdrew Nourine's Olympics accreditation saying his actions were in "total opposition to our philosophy.""We worked a lot to reach the Olympics ... but the Palestinian cause is bigger than all of this," Nourine said, adding that his decision was "final."Nourine's withdrawal meant Abdalrasool automatically qualified to face Butbul, but that bout ended up getting canceled after Abdalrasool decided to withdraw as well.The withdrawals left a huge question mark on the fight between Alqahtani and Hershko, but the bout ended up taking place according to schedule. Hershko won the fight by a knockout blow, which is called ippon in Judo, after one minute and 44 seconds.At the end of the fight, the judokas bowed to one another and then shook hands, after which Hershko lifted Alqahtani's hand in the air.
At the turn of the 20th century, synchronised swimming was known as water ballet. The first recorded competition was in 1891 in Berlin, Germany. Many swim clubs were formed around that time, and the sport simultaneously developed in Canada. As well as existing as a sport, it often constituted a popular addition to Music Hall evenings, in the larger variety theatres of London or Glasgow which were equipped with on-stage water tanks for the purpose.

Australian Olympians returning from the Tokyo 2020 games have been criticized over "excessive alcohol consumption" and "loud and disruptive" behavior on their flight home.Ian Chesterman, Australia's chef de mission, told reporters Wednesday that he had received a report from Japan Airlines about the "unacceptable" behavior of team members.'Athletes "failed to respond to requests for them do do whatever they needed to do on the flight," Chesterman said.
The first women's event was introduced at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, 84 years after the first men's race. Held over 10 km for the first two editions, the women's event was extended to match the men's 20 km distance from the 2000 Sydney Olympics onwards.
Women have never commonly competed internationally over 50 km, thus it has never been proposed as an Olympic event – as of 2012 it remains the only event on the Olympic athletics programme in which men compete, but women do not have an equivalent.
Athletes are not permitted to use a horse of the own for the show jumping section - instead, they are given a horse selected at random and have 20 minutes to bond with the animal before being sent out on course.However on Friday night, several of the horses given to riders just weren't up for the task, with multiple riders falling out of contention due to unwilling steeds.None fell further than Germany's Annika Schleu, who held the lead heading into the horse riding event but fell completely out of contention when her mount absolutely refused to cooperate.Schleu, who finished fourth in the event at the 2016 Rio Olympics, was in tears riding around the course as her horse flatly refused to tackle any of the obstacles on course.
"Natalya Coyle draws a horse who just doesn’t fancy it today. And that is the horrendous luck of this draw. Crazy event. She went into showjumping in 4th & leaves it in 19th. Beyond cruel," Irish reporter Jacqui Hurley wrote.
German pentathlon coach disqualified after punching horse in competition...Coach Kim Raisner, according to Reuters, hit a horse with her fist during Friday’s show jumping in Tokyo and urged a German rider to “really hit” the horse when it didn’t want to jump....Schleu repeatedly grew frustrated as Saint Boy started refusing to jump and she cried out as time on the run expired, as her lead had completely vanished.Raisner, however, urged Schleu to “really hit it, hit” the horse and even punched the horse once on the back of the leg. Schleu was seen hitting the horse multiple times, too.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) withdrew its invitation to South Africa to the 1964 Summer Olympics when interior minister Jan de Klerk insisted the team would not be racially integrated.[7] In 1968, the IOC was prepared to readmit South Africa after assurances that its team would be multi-racial; but a threatened boycott by African nations and others forestalled this.[8] ... South Africa was formally expelled from the IOC in 1970.[9]In 1976, African nations demanded that New Zealand be suspended by the IOC for continued contacts with South Africa, including a tour by the New Zealand national rugby union team. When the IOC refused, the African teams withdrew from the games.[10] This contributed to the Gleneagles Agreement being adopted by the Commonwealth in 1977.[11]The IOC adopted a declaration against "apartheid in sport" on 21 June 1988, for the total isolation of apartheid sport.[4]
Russian athletes skirted Olympic sanctions by wearing their country's flag on their sleeves during the Beijing opening ceremony...Russia's four-year Olympic ban due to widespread doping violations and a state-sanctioned cover-up explicitly prohibited athletes that call the country home from competing under their flag or hearing their national anthem played at the games....Russia's sleeve flags appear to be a direct violation of the sanctions the IOC set in place ahead of the games.Whether the country or its athletes face repercussions remains to be seen.
