from the news it will take 9 hours to arrive here,  i bellieve it will be shot down, for now they canceled all edication activities for the next few days, and big gathering (over 1000) are canceled
we will see what is happening tommorow, lets hope its not much

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 
 

Also not sure if people noticed all of the Olympic-related things in the music video, not only Panathenaic Stadium but also there is an Athens 2004 shirt hanging on the clothes line when the old lady is dancing, and at the end one of the Athens 2004 mascots as a stuffed animal  (my grandmother actually bought me the same stuffed animal in 2004 and I still have it in my room )

amazing day from Sharon Kantor , won all of the races today and get the gold and the spot in the olympic team for israel Emma Wilson with the silver and Katy Spichakov   with the broze
in the men Tom Reuveney did exacly what he needed to secure his spot in the games 

this competition will decide the selection for the olympics in the team, in men  Reuveney need 8th place to overcome yoav omer for the place in the team 
 
in women the race between Kantor Tibi and Spichakov is interesting, but overall what is heppening is that Spichakov needs to finish 2 places above the other 2, if not the one ahead from Tibi and Kantor will be selected, it is also interesting becose all of the team but  Spichakov are training in as a team under shahar tzuberi (olympic bronze medalist from 2008)
we have never had close to this size and quality of a team in any sport in the country (not to mention all of the team is in the top 16 which is crazy), we have a whatsapp group for following olympic sports and usually when there is judo we only talk judo, today we allmost ignored the judo to do simulations for who will be in the olympics

for team  we have a very small team as for the events going on and security risks, our team is: anastasia gorbenko, daria golovaty and denis loktev, no relay team as the federation believe we will get in with last years results on 4x200 women, 4x200 men and 4x100 men 
 
also the federation have a big conflict in it and may be dismentaled soon (the two main factions in israeli sport are fighting there and it is going to court, some political bullshit) 
 

I can see it happening for in two new sports (we have medals only in five judo, kayak, sailing, taekwondo and gymnastic), first is athletics in marathon, and second is track cycling maybe, both not a great chance  

unless i am mistaking, as the final in the goalball women european championship is and   and   has the qualification from the world championship  has the quata to paris in women's goalball

It's amazing to see Sharon tal so close to qualifying positions, she is only the second ever in this sport for the country, she does not have a federation or any competitors in the country, and she is training just with clubs in the different parts of the competition, and she is only 20 or 21, it's just amazing 

YESSSS, i'm so happy for South Korea, this is the best day of my life as a gymfan. 

Hope you will get more individual quotas next year. Israel deserve it

i would pick ( ) misha zilberman (bedminton) for men (its his 4th olympics and he is a pionner for this sport in the country) or artem dolgopyat(artistic gymnastics)  as he is a gold medalist and lonah chamtai (marathon) for women or maybe avishag samberg (taekwondo) if she will get in as she got a bronze last time 

i am really proud in our team, first time we have a full team in the world championship, no falls and great performance overall, only half a point from strong nations like  hopefully we will get in again in the next edition

It’s hard to understand for Cricket lovers how boring and incomprehensible Cricket is to most people. I say this as someone who enjoys Cricket.

Just amazing from maro, it's a medal no one (at least here) expected, and after a crash, just amazing weekend for us with him, the 4th place for lonah and medals in the rhythmic gymnastics world championship
