The Egyptian Abdel Rahman Al-Saifi’s confrontation with a Ukrainian competitor in the World Games in America witnessed a strange event today, Sunday.
Abdul Rahman Al-Saifi defeated the Ukrainian champion in the final of the World Games in America. After the victory, Al-Saifi celebrated a “rear somersault”, and the judges considered this an “inappropriate celebration” and considered the Ukrainian player’s victory.
The Egyptian team, led by the coach of the Egyptian Sumo national team, objected, and it was decided to repeat the confrontation.
In the replay, Abdul Rahman Al-Saifi won once more and won the first Egyptian-Arab gold for sumo (lightweight) at the World Games (weight 85 kg).
Abdul Rahman Al-Saifi began his career by defeating the champion of Mongolia in the round of 16, then eliminating three Ukrainians, to win the third gold medal for Egypt.
