Unveiling "Israel Today": Sailing Team Coach Stuck in the Land and Can't Go to the World Championships, Deciding in Battle of the Olympics Ticket


Unveiling "Israel Today": Sailing Team Coach Stuck in the Country and Can't Go to the World Championships That Will Decide in Battle of the Olympic Games Ticket • Given the Minority of Participants, Spain's Elimination Danger

Chaos has reached Israeli Olympic sports. If training camps have so far been canceled or some athletes have been sent off for isolation, the World Championships are now on a sailing sailboat 470 - one of the most prominent branches of Israeli Olympic sports - scheduled to depart this Sunday in Palma, Spain.

For the Israelis, this is the decisive competition for the Olympic Games. The women compete with two teams, and the winners will secure the ticket to the summer games.

Cruises are already in Spain in training camp and have not returned to Israel in the last two weeks so as not to miss the competition, but now there are two main problems: First, the senior couple coach on the expedition, Eyal Levin, stuck in Israel and has no way at present to go to Spain next to Gil Cohen and Rimon Shoshan .

Due to the fact that bad blood is flowing between the two teams' cruises - which in the past included violent incidents - and in light of what has happened at the recent World Surfing Championship, it seems that a responsible adult (maybe even two) must calm the huge explosive potential.

Levin and the Sailing Association do not know what to do, also due to the fact that now the World Championship itself is questionable as a result of the small number of participants who have come to Spain so far. Is a competition that includes barely 12 teams the competition that will determine who will travel to the Olympics?

And what about the men? Here Israel is in equally problematic condition. The delegation returned from a training camp in Spain two weeks ago and is scheduled to be in isolation until Wednesday. Now the questions are being asked how they will get to Spain, and how they will face such championships after spending two weeks at home.

Technically, in the men's delegation the situation is even worse, because the industry has not yet met the criteria for the Olympic Games, and if the team does not enter this competition, Israel will probably lose the chances of participating in the Olympics. Chaos, did we say?
