Artium Dolgofiat continued today (Sunday) the dream month of Israeli sports.
After the wonderful achievements in judo and Israeli sailing, the Israeli gymnast won the gold medal in the ground exercise at the European Championships in Turkey with a score of 15,000 rounds in the prestigious final.
Later, the new European champion will compete in the jumping table final, and Alex Myaknin will compete in the tension final.
Dolgofiat, a senior Israeli gymnast who of course came to compete for the gold, has already won silver medals in the last two championships, and there is no doubt that this afternoon he performed the coveted leap with first place on the podium.
