Speech about "flag change" under which the sportswoman in the future will act, went after sharp deterioration of the relations Schlesinger with Federation of judo of Israel. The judoist already received the offer from Azerbaijan to defend sports honor of this country which for the sake of it is ready to provide Schlesinger nationality.

   The reason of the conflict began to transfer intention of the management of federation of judo of Israel Alis Schlesinger to heavier weight category to 70 kg and to appoint by it the new trainer, the instructor of female national team - Shani Gershko. Still Schlesinger trained at the husband, the native of Ukraine Pavel Musin.

The situation is aggravated still with that Gershko is the personal trainer of the main Israeli competitor Schlesinger - 23-year-old Yarden Gerbi. At the end of March of the judoist met among themselves in the Grand Prix tournament semi-final in Turkey and the victory was won by Gerbi. It was their third internal duel on the international scene, earlier Schlesinger twice won.

   To Turkey, the husband and the trainer of the judoist Pavel Musin went for own means.  After tournament Schlesinger demanded from the management of federation to pay a trip of her instructor on the European championship in Budapest.  Having faced refusal from federation of judo of Israel, Schlesinger and Musin made the decision to refuse participation in the continent championship. 

The offer to replace nationality and to play for other state, Schlesinger received during the recent private visit to Baku. The sportswoman received the similar offer and from Turkey. There is also one more option, Alis Schlesinger in the future can put on sportswear of the national team of Great Britain which citizen is her mother.

   Advocaat Alis Schlesinger declares that his ward does everything possible that and from now on to defend sports honor of Israel, however the management of Federation of judo of Israel doesn't wish to find a way out of current situation and to make compromise solutions.
