Muslim wrestler wins competition at Maccabiah Games 

An Iranian-born Muslim wrestler has won a medal in the Maccabiah Games in Israel after he entered the Jewish sports competition through a series of errors. Mohammad Babulfath, who holds Swedish citizenship, took the first place in his weight class on Sunday at the Greco-Roman wrestling competition. Babulfath and his coach and team-mate arrived at the Games not knowing that it is open only to Jews and Israelis. The confusion apparently began after an Israeli wrestling official posted an open invitation to the quadrennial “Jewish Olympics” on an international wrestling website, without explaining the competition’s restrictions, according to the "Jerusalem Post". Unsure if Babulfath deserved a medal, Maccabiah officials ultimately awarded him an improvised title, but gave the gold medal to someone else.
