Two wrestlers, one from Ukraine and one from Iran, refused to shake hands after the medal ceremony for the men's freestyle 86kg wrestling event at the 2023 Summer Olympics in Paris.

The Ukrainian wrestler, Ihor Mykhailovych Marushevych, won the gold medal, while the Iranian wrestler, Mohammadreza Geraei, won the silver medal. After the ceremony, Marushevych and Geraei stood on the podium to receive their medals. However, when it was time to shake hands, both wrestlers turned their heads and refused to make eye contact.

The incident sparked a debate on social media, with some people criticizing the wrestlers for their behavior, while others defended them. Some people said that the wrestlers were simply expressing their political views, while others said that they were being disrespectful to each other.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has not commented on the incident. However, the IOC has a rule that prohibits athletes from making political statements at the Olympics. It is possible that the IOC could take action against the wrestlers, such as suspending them from future competitions.

The incident is a reminder of the political tensions that exist in the world today. It is also a reminder that the Olympics are not immune to these tensions.
