In the final of a class of karate men's kumite over 75 kg, an Iranian player was kicked by a Saudi Arabian player and collapsed, making it impossible to continue the match.

The Saudi Arabian player who kicked out was leading three points, but it was regarded as a dangerous attack and suffered a foul defeat, and the Iranian player won the gold medal, which was a surprising end.

In karate, as the final match of the tournament, the final of the men's kumite class over 75 kg was held, and Iran's Sajad Gandizaday and Saudi Arabia's Tarek Hamedi played against each other.



From the beginning of the game, Hamedi had an advantage in deciding the upper kick.

However, about one minute later, Hamedi's upper kick hit the opponent's neck, and he fell on the mat and was almost unable to move while staring at the ceiling.



The referee immediately called the medical staff and counted 10 seconds, and decided that it was impossible to continue the competition because Gandizaday could not stand up.

It was carried on a stretcher.



In addition, the umpire defeated Hamedi as a "dangerous and uncontrolled attack," which stipulates a prohibited act for the upper kick of Hamedi.

This was a surprising end to the fallen Iranian Gandiza Day player winning the gold medal.

Gandiza Day appeared cheerfully at the awards ceremony that followed, waving to the people involved in the venue. When I got on the podium, I picked up the medal and hung it around my neck, and when I heard the national anthem, I put my hand on my chest and chewed my joy. At the end of the ceremony, they were seen hugging Hamedi, and they praised each other for their good fights.



"I heard that I won when I woke up in the medical room. I'm sorry that the final ended in this way, but I'm glad I got the gold medal," said Gandizaday.



On the other hand, Hamedi, who won the silver medal, said, "I have no objection to the referee's decision and I want to accept the referee's decision. I think I had a good match."
