1. WHY WOULD MUSLIM COUNTRIES WANT TO ATTEND INT'L GAMES?
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (08.25.16)
They shoudl just stay in their own countries and just have their own games. It is obvious than they just can't recognize the int'lnorm.

Sara Ahmed from Egypt competed wearing
also a sport's hijab, she won a bronce medal
and no one is talking about her. I think the point
of this article is irrelevant, you all are more
concern about what was wearingthe egyptian
athlete or who she was standing with to
take a picture than to respect yourselfs as
Israelis. Olimpic Games were created by
the hellenistics in Greece for Zeus, the same
religion who used to sacrifice pigs in the
temple mount. Honestly, i believe jews
and muslims should not compite in those
olympic games in Brazil or wherever they
take place. It is not just because the israelis
athletes were killed in 1972 in olympic games,
learn to lead, Israel should be more than just
hightech or snobing that the country haves
the best army. Israel and jewish communities
from the world celebrate The Maccabiah in
Israel which is a multisport competition with
thousands athletes. If you all are so proud
of the egyptian peace agreement & the
athlete with someone holding
the israeli behind her, why you dont invite egypt
and Jordan sport players to compite in Israel?

4. That was too good to be true.
Larry ,   Carmiel   (08.30.16)
Doaa Elghobashy herself said that this is a "conspiracy" against her to try to "discredit" her, so she obviously herself wasn't aware of the Israeli flag when the picture was being taken. The organization that said this is in the Olympic spirit seems to have its head in the clouds. The picture was simply too good to be genuine.
