In one of the last interviews he gave, about three months ago to the podcast "China Time", the only Israeli representative in the last 28 years at the International Olympic Committee - since his appointment in 1994 - spoke about the importance of representation for the State of Israel: " The committee, for the first time since 1972, made sure that there was not only a mention, but a moment of silence at the Olympic Stadium for the tragedy of the Munich assassination
