/ Winning at the Olympics
1The Olympic Games is one of the biggest sporting competitions in the world. Every four years, athletes from all over the world compete to bring home a medal1. Each country is proud of its Olympic athletes.
2Israel first competed in the Olympics in 1953, but for many years its athletes didn’t win any medals. This changed at the 1992 Olympicsin Barcelona, when Yael Arad and Oren Smadja both won a medal in judo. Yael won a silver2 medal and Oren won a bronze3. When they returned to Israel, everyone was proud of them and wanted to know more about them. Yael and Oren were on television,on the radio, and in the newspapers.
3Since then, Israeli athletes have won more medals. The Olympics in Athens in the year 2004 was an exciting year for Israeli sports. That year,Gal Fridman won a gold medal in windsurfing. He was the first Israeli sportsman to win an Olympic gold4 medal. Fridman said, “I felt the whole country was watching me and pushing from behind.” That evening, when Fridman got his medal, the Israeli national anthem5 was sung at the Olympics for the first time.
4When Israeli athletes succeed in the Olympics,more and more young people want to do sports. For example, Israel has won six medals in judo, and today judo is one of the most popular after-school sports. Israel hopes to win more medals in judo, windsurfing and other sports at the next Olympics.
