I prefer to watch the Paralympics any day. Anyone can be good at games with a fully working body, but to do the same with previously important body parts missing is far more impressive. The Channel 4 Superhumans advert blew my mind:https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...&v=IocLkk3aYlk

In the short notice news today on Olympic Games in Rio

I heard that a person from Tunisia and some other Muslim country refused to meet their opponent

Reason ? Their opponent came from Israel.

It made me sad when I heard that-It's sport not political or religious.

The first story seems to be a ongoing story-Made a search-Tunisian Olympic competitor refuse to meat Israel, and found it was a Tennis player made a new search and found that a Tunisian Tennis player named Jaziri had refused to meat a player from Israel, and that was back in 2013 the next story about the same person was about 3 hours old.

I know what I heard and read- Tunisian player refuse to meet a player from Israel.

Maybe a journalist have read it and thought that's interesting and posted it further. Not checking if the story is true or old.



The next story. is about a Saudi Arabian. This story seems reel have only found one notice about it.
