Israeli jiu-jitsu competitor Omri Haviv secured the gold medal at the world championship in Bangkok after his Kazakh opponent, Aldiyar Saryk, was disqualified for kicking him during the final match. Despite the incident, Haviv offered a handshake in a show of sportsmanship, which Saryk refused. Haviv's path to the final was marked by a series of strong performances, and his victory was celebrated by the Israeli Jiu-Jitsu Federation. The organization now looks ahead to the youth world championship, hoping the senior team's achievements will motivate younger athletes.
