Yesterday, Saeid Mollaei who is representing Mongolia after leaving the Iranian team wins a silver medal in the final of the men’s judo 81-kilogram division in the Olympics.
In particular, he won a World Championship in 2018 and participated in the 2019 World Championships to win again. But he left Iran two years ago after being ordered to deliberately lose at the World Championship 2019 to avoid fighting Israel wrestler Sagi Muki in the final. Religious and political tensions between Iran and Israel have affected sports.
After that, Mollaei subsequently moved to Germany and then acquired Mongolian citizenship to make his dream come true as the Olympic medalist.
Dreaming of becoming an Olympic medalist, he chose Mongolia as the most peaceful country to help him achieve his dream.
After starting wrestling for Mongolia, Mollaei won a bronze medal at the 2021 Asia-Pacific Championships and a silver medal at the Tel Aviv Grand Slam.
A film based on Saeid Mollaei’s life is under production. Yesterday, Saeid Mollaei, who is fulfilling his dream, won the first Olympic medal on behalf of Mongolia.
