I find it so funny we (  ) are at league one, like the group is three European and world powerhouses and a nation who was in the world cup once and never in the euros 

Don't worry, Italy and Israel have the same world cup appearances since 2018

For
1. Rate the performance on a scale of 1-10: 
8/10, on one side, it was our most successful Olympics with seven medals, but out of the none medalist very few do well, and all of these I thought wi get gold get silver 
2. What were the suprises and heartbreaks?
The main surprise was Tom Reuveny who won the gold in iqfoil, he was expected to be at about 6-8 place like he did in moat big competitions and he took home the gold even beating the Dutch favorite 
The biggest heartbreak was how our sport Channel went to athletes after thier loss without letting them get a few moments to rest and getting some hard to watch interviews (with avishag Samberg or Luna champaign salpeter) 
3. Was your country's goal achieved? 
Yes and no, the medals goal was achieved by far with 7 to 5 who were expected, but only 14 finals for the 18 who were expected (in events without a final, top 12 is final for this count ) 
4.Which are the sports that will be invested more in future? Current / Upcoming sports
More judo, sailing and gymnastics, also archery is doing great things for now, but money will be wierd now as a result of the situation 
5. Who could be some the potential star for your country in LA?
We have a great new generation of rhythmic gymnasts along side some good male artistic gymnasts, the women judo team will stay about the same and will be stars and the windsurfing will continue to be amazing, overall I expect la to be the best Olympic we will ever have with a team of 120 athletes and around the same amount of medals as this time 
 
 
 

vs in -73kg

From calculations we had in a WhatsApp group with a few of the heads of the Israeli archery federation, we will have 2 archers, a male and a female even if they all not qualify today they will get it from the ranking 

I am aware of the Maccabiah Games, but I found it difficult to archive the results, so I decided not to save those. There’s a few multi-sport games where that’s happened, unfortunately. 

I also think there is a real reputational danger for the IOC here. People love to bang about how athletes don't take Olympic golf, tennis of men's football seriously. There is a real danger of this being even moreso the case in esports, there is a real risk that the Olympics are not just considered not the pinacle but in fact somewhat of a joke event that people don't take seriously even as a minor competition.

For   seems like it is going to be a small delegation this time. The smallest since Beijing 2000 and out of 16th appearances at Olympic Games, this would place 12th in size. That would be half the size from Tokyo 2020.
 
Probably no participation in Women Race Walk, first time since Beijing 2000.
 
So far 11 qualified athletes 8 men 3 women. Possibilities only in Judo to qualify by ranking, and maybe two athletes in Swimming, by universality.
 
Kevin Cordón in Badminton and Juan Maegli in Sailing will appear at their 5th Games, tying the most apperances with Francisco Romero in Shooting (1996, 1992, 1984, 1980, 1976)

How many available quotas are available for the men’s 10m rifle?

In Tokyo we   had at least 3 representatives who are LGBTQ+ (from what I know) and all have (or will get ) the quata for Paris, raz hershko (judo) Anat lelior (surfing) and Moran Samuel (paralympic rowing) 
I think we have one or 2 more in the community in the team, but these are the once I know of 
 

It's  complicated, but roy dror and Mika moshe have a really good  Chance  through the rankings (even  if  we may not be able to send people to the final quallification tournament as it is in turkey and security will not let Israeli athletes go there probably )
