Iranian Judoka Saeid Mollaei will compete in Tokyo in the World Judo Championship to begin on Sunday, Mako reported.
Mollaei was rumored to consider not coming as he might be instructed to compete against the Israeli Judoka Sagi Muki.
Iranian athletes have been known to refuse competing against Israelis, preferring to lose a match on a technicality rather than risk losing to an Israeli and having to return to Iran.
