Oleg Dolgofiat did not quite understand what was going on.
Suddenly masses of reporters come to his house, asking him questions.
And he, a modest printing house worker, stands with the bag in his hand and tries to understand, to keep up with the pace of the questions.
Artium had just won the gold medal, but he did not even think of giving up the work day.
When the long day was over he turned to thoughts.
"I feel like I've just come down from the sky, emotions have flooded my body, the adrenaline level has skyrocketed," he says.
Will you be able to fall asleep tonight?
I asked and he laughed, "I do not know, I will try."

Oleg, as an entire country realized yesterday, does not tend to miss work.
On Tuesday Artium returns to Israel and even his presence at Ben Gurion Airport he can not guarantee, and just says: "I will make the efforts to arrive."
I hope this time you take a day off.
"Yesterday I hardly worked, I was released in the morning to see the competition, another So there were a lot of media interviews, I only arrived towards the end of my shift.
Even today I will only get to work at noon.
I always greeted him at the airport after competitions - world championships, European championships and more.
The Olympics is something huge, Olympic gold is Olympic gold, what should be added?

Did you talk to Artium after everything calmed down?
"No, there is a six-hour difference with Tokyo, and by the time I finished with the interviews it was already night and I did not want to bother him, as a father. Today we will fill in the gaps."
What does your WhatsApp look like?
"My phone today just exploded from most of the messages in all possible media - WhatsApp, Messenger, phone calls - everyone wanted to wish good luck and by noon I was already running out of battery."
As you know Artium, how will he manage with all the attention and manage to deal with the media exposure back to the country?
"My son, like me, is a very humble person. I think he will get along well with the new situation, he will remain the same artium as he was. True, it's his time to shine, right, he won a gold medal, and I'm sure he's happy to the roof. But I also know that he will continue as usual, will continue to train and conquer new goals. "
He always believed that the Israeli flag would be raised at the Olympics.

What would you recommend to parents who want to raise an Olympic champion?
"My advice is very simple - the child should come to every training, listen to the coach's recommendations and perform all the exercises given to him, and then it will succeed. When he was little I went with him to training. From the age of 6 I accompany him in training and competitions. "I also went to the World Championships in Poland, Artium did not expect to see me there. I also wanted to go to the European Championships in Baku, I bought tickets but then because of the Corona it did not happen in the end. Next year I plan to go to the European Championships in Munich.
And finally, he does not think this is Israel's last medal in this Olympics - not even the last gold medal. "I am convinced that Linoy Ashram will return with a gold medal, if not in a big fight, then in one of the individual competitions," he concludes, "I believe in her. Maybe the girls from the group competition in artistic gymnastics will also receive a medal,I believe in them too. "
