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.

I look for things that show up in my least favorite search engine although I have to use my phone as my laptop doesn’t offer the option to expand the search. I do pull the search using my laptop once I see the choices of the moment as they can change several times during the day. I also use several other search engines to look.
