Israel Olympic Games

The Olympic Committee of Israel (OCI) has condemned death threats against its athletes competing in the Paris Games, emphasizing a focus on sports instead of hate while thanking security forces for their support. French authorities have opened an investigation into these threats and the unauthorized release of personal data of Israeli athletes. Meanwhile, on the Olympic competition front, Team Ireland is actively participating across various sports, with key events including swimming, hockey, and equestrian disciplines. The Israeli delegation experienced mixed results, with judoka Gefen Primo and Baruch Shmailov both exiting their competitions early. Despite the challenges, swimmer Anastasia Gorbenko advanced to the semifinals in her event. Overall, the Olympics continue to showcase a blend of competitive spirit amid security concerns.
