Inbar Lanir made the hosts of the hostile World Judo Championships in Qatar listen to "Hatikvah" She stood not only on the podium - but also on the shoulders of giants. The pioneers who founded the Israeli Judo Association from scratch are giants of spirit.
In our hot-headed country, Judo educates children all over the country to restraint, self-control, discipline, respect for opponent, tradition and uncompromising striving for excellence. If we succeed in copying this ability to all the centers of power in Israeli society, we may become world champions.
