All the hopes of senior Israeli surfers will be drained for the next two days, during which the identity of the winner of the ticket to the Olympic Games in Tokyo is expected to be determined.
The surfing industry in the country is known for its historic rivalries, and another one is about to be added to this list at the World Sailing Championships, to be held in Cadiz, Spain.
The rivalry between Shahar Tzobari and Yoav Cohen will reach its peak, both excellent surfers who dream of representing Israel at the upcoming Olympics - but unfortunately only one ticket will be distributed.
According to past cases, if the fight is close, it is not impossible that bad blood will flow between them, and all we have left is to hope that this competition will end in a sporting way.
In the current situation, Zubari is now leading by 24 points.
This is the most important criterion competition, with the highest score, so the level in the competition must be the highest.
Following the World Championships, the Professional Committee of the Sailing Association will convene, and it is expected to accept the recommendations of national team coach Gur Steinberg.
The committee will decide between the coach's recommendation and the best surfer result, and according to that will determine who will be flying to Tokyo in July.
As you may recall, before the postponement of the Olympic Games, Zubari had already secured his place.
The women's competition will feature Katie Spichkov, European 2020 runner-up, who has already secured her place at the biggest sporting event in the world.
