Olympic medal at the Montreal Games • Avraham Grant wins the championship and discovers Messi • Katsch celebrates at the NBA and Eitan Tayeb signed with Hapoel Tel Aviv •


Women's 110m hurdles final, Montreal Olympics.

Moments after finishing the run of her life, Esther Roth-Shakhmarov looked at the scoreboard at the Olympic Stadium and saw that she finished in sixth place with a time of 13.04 seconds.

Throughout the run something seemed suspicious to her, the girls overtook her at a higher than usual or expected speed.

Later, when the drug tests for athletes were conducted, with an innovative technology that has never been seen before, the truth became clear: the first three, from East Germany and the USSR, took stimulant drugs until the question was asked: Are these women at all?

Roth-Shakhmarov received a surprising announcement according to which she is the winner of the historic bronze medal for Israel: "I dedicate the medal to my 11 friends who I lost exactly four years ago," the runner said upon landing in Israel.

Israel of the late 1970s was flooded with runners and runners, but the next medal will not be won by the Queen of Sports, but rather a negligible and strange sport in Barcelona 1992 - judo.

"We love Abraham Grant because he's not drowsy": Chelsea fans' song flooded Red Square, and the dreadful rain did not scare anyone.

John Terry had just bombarded Manchester United's connection, giving Roman Abramovich an overwhelming answer to anyone who thought Grant could not take a team to win the Champions League.

When he arrived in Israel, the greatest Israeli coach of all time dropped the bombshell: "Coaching Argentina has always been my dream because it is a country where football flows in my blood, and it intrigues me to work with rising star Messi. In my opinion, he can be no less good than any other star currently playing football."

Ten years after that game, Grant will return to the ceremony of laying the bronze statue of Terry outside Stamford Bridge.

At the celebrations of the 70th Independence Day of the State of Israel, Shlomo Sharaf will shake Grant's hand and admit: "You are the greatest we have had and probably will have."

When Oded Katash introduced the Knicks tank top with the number 10 printed on it, an entire country watched the ceremony even though it was a little after midnight.

The labor dispute between the players and the league ended in great success, and the league will begin on time.

Katsch, the first Israeli in the best league in the world, murmured as usual at the press conference and entered the world famous arena - Madison Square Garden, to join the team photo.


In the first game he came in in the sixth minute and handed out two assists: one to Alan Houston and the other to Patrick Ewing.

He finished with three points.

Coach Jeff Van Gandy will talk about Katash having to strengthen his physicality, because this league team "does not feel sorry for the Rockies".


In January, Shimon Mizrahi and David Federman will land in New York with one goal: "to bring back the prodigal son."


In February, Katsh moved into his new apartment in north Tel Aviv.

Hapoel Beit She'an - Betar Jerusalem, 1998.

The result of the surprising draw between the teams gave the Reds from Tel Aviv the first historic championship in the 90's. After that, Tayeb will become the Tel Aviv brake.

Moshe Teomim embraced the tall guy from Beit She'an: "Eitan has proven that sportsmanship characterizes him and his club. We will make Beit She'an our daughter team."

23 years later, in an interview on Channel 13, Tayeb, now a Likud MK, said: "When I hear the theory of Israel and the first Israel, my ears burn. I am a living example of the fact that there is no discrimination here. I played in the Ashkenazi stronghold and felt at home."

Beit Shean coach Sergei Chulkovich was fired this week in the second round of the Premier League after a 2: 1 loss to Hapoel Nof Hagalil.

Chulkovich grabbed his head in astonishment, and left the room of Chairman Pini Shuai without saying a word.
