Fethi Nourine (
Career
Raised in Oran, Algeria, he started judo aged seven after being introduced to the discipline by his brother.[1] In 2014, he won the under 66 kg event at the African Open, beating fellow Algerian Houd Zourdani in the final. It was Algeria's first gold medal of the tournament.[2] He became African champion in the under 73 kg event after winning the event at the 2018 African Judo Championships.[3] He retained his title the following year in Tunisia. That same year he participated in the World Championships in Japan. He won his first match but then pulled out of the tournament as he refused to face his next scheduled opponent, the Israeli competitor Tohar Butbul for what he said were political reasons.[4][5][6] In 2021, Nourine won the under 73 kg event at the African Judo Championships.[7]
