The Lebanese judo team at the 2012 London
Olympics refused to practice next to the Israeli one on Friday
afternoon, and a makeshift barrier was erected to split their gym into
two halves.
According to several Hebrew sports sites, the
two teams were scheduled to use the same gym and mats at London’s new
ExCeL center for their final preparations. However, the delegation from
Lebanon would not train in view of the Israeli team, and insisted some
sort of barrier be placed between them.
Organizers accepted the Lebanese coach’s
demand to separate the teams, erecting a barrier so that the Lebanese
team wouldn’t see the Israeli one.
