Islam El Shehaby is one of the most popular and richest Judoka who was born on August 1, 1982 in Cairo, Cairo Governorate, Egypt. Islam El Shehaby (Arabic: إسلام الشهابي ʾIslām ash-Shahābī; born 1 August 1982) is an Egyptian former judoka.
Following controversy regarding his refusal to shake the hand of Israeli judoka Or Sasson, who defeated him at the 2016 Summer Olympics, he retired in August 2016. 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 sent home before the Olympics closing ceremony.
El Shehaby competed at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where he was thrown twice by and lost to Israeli Or Sasson, who later won a bronze medal in the competition. After the match, El Shehaby refused to bow or shake hands with his opponent, after the Israeli had bowed to him. As a result of his major breach of judo etiquette, the Egyptian was loudly booed and jeered by the near-capacity crowd.
