As you may recall, Nurin sparked political drama after he chose to retire from the Olympics to avoid a meeting with Botbol, which would have happened in the event the Algerian qualified for the second round.
"My position on the Palestinian issue is firm. I will not recognize the Israeli flag and I will not get my hands dirty with it," he told the media in his homeland at the time.
The 30-year-old Norin had a long history with Israeli rivals and even with Botbol himself: in 2019 he did not appear in a battle against the Israeli and gave him a technical victory in the second round of the World Championship.
In the same year, he also retired from the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam when he realized that Israeli representatives would come to the competition.
In 2014, Nurin participated in the Croatian Grand Prix - then still weighing up to 66 kg - and managed to advance in the competition. In a gold medal.
