Saudi Arabia's Tareg Hamedi competes against Iran's Sajad Ganjzadeh in the men's kumite +75kg final of the karate competition during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo on August 7, 2021. Iran’s Sajad Ganjzadeh won the men’s +75kg kumite Olympic gold in karate after high drama at the famed Budokan arena on Saturday.
Tareg Hamedi of Saudi Arabia was leading 3-0 in under 10 seconds but was then disqualified for a kick to the head of Ganjzadeh. The Iranian was knocked out and was taken away on a stretcher, and the judges decided the kick did not demonstrate adequate control.“I don’t exactly know what happened. I know that I was behind, and I was trying to catch up, and just by the end of it I remember that just after the hit, I was on the stretcher,” he said.
