Israel Announces Its Olympic Team For This Summer's Beijing Games
Israel's 39-member delegation for the Beijing Olympics was announced on Monday, 46 days before the Games' opening ceremony. The Israeli delegation is set to be equally split between men and women, mainly thanks to the Rhythmic Gymnastics, which is sending eight participants to the Games. Some of the more notable names on the list include: Judoka Arik Ze'evi, who will be competing in his third Olympic Games, hoping to win a medal for a second straight time, and Andy Ram and Yoni Erlich, who have a good chance of making a triumphant run in Beijing. The youngest member of the Israeli delegation is 17-year-old Neta Rivkin while the oldest is 53-year-old marathon runner Haile Satayin. The International Olympic Committee also announced on Monday that any sportsman who will set a new personal best at Beijing will receive a bonus of 10,000 shekels. While any winner of a gold medal will be awarded 240,000 shekels. 06/24/08
