An exciting and unusual moment took place today (Monday) at the World Judo Championship in Tashkent, when the Iranian coach Vahid Sarlak and the coach of the Israeli women's team Shani Hershko uploaded a video uploaded by Sarlak, on his Instagram profile, in which they are seen hugging each other and conveying a message of Hello, when at the end they shook hands and gave each other a hug.
A meeting between the Iranian coach and Heid Sarlak, an Israeli, exchanged a message of peace at the Judo World Championships in Tashkent
Hershko said: "I send my greetings from the bottom of my heart to all the Iranian people, I hope that soon you will be free and do what you want - women and men will enjoy life, enjoy democracy. The people of Israel love you and I hope that soon we can visit each other."
When Serlak said similar things in Persian and added that: "The Iranians are friends of Israel and respect Israel", he even added that many people ask him what is happening in Iran today.
By the way, Sarlak, who won the silver medal in the 2000 Asian Championship and finished fifth in the 2009 World Championship, currently coaches the refugee team, which he led to the Olympic Games in Tokyo two years ago.

One of the first to respond to the post was the Iranian judoka Saeed Molai, who himself had to leave his homeland after he was not allowed to compete against Sagi Muki in the 2019 World Championship and currently represents Azerbaijan.
"True Iranians love Israel," Moulay wrote.
