The workers have been working hard in recent days to complete the construction of the stands for the 3,500 spectators, as well as the huge screen, when the competition surface and warm-up area can still be prepared, all of which should be ready by tomorrow evening, ahead of training on Tuesday.

In addition, it was decided on the four gymnasts who represented Israel in the personal junior category: Alona Tal Franco, Maccabi Tel Aviv (hoop); Michel Munitz, Maccabi Makfet Petah Tikva (ball); Lian Rona, Urbani Holon (Alot) and Daniela Munitz, Maccabi Makfet Petah Tikva (film) Yael Aloni Goldblatt is the replacement gymnast.
Ayelet Sussman, the head coach of the Israeli team: "After an intensive training period, it was decided on the junior team. These are young and promising gymnasts who show great talent and I am sure they will bring a lot of respect to Israel in the upcoming championship. Get to the expo and pick them up as much as possible. "
Team gymnastics teammate Amit Hedvat added: "For me the most important thing is the way - to do the best I can and know I gave everything. My ambition to get to the Olympics in Paris and the competition taking place here in Israel is an opening shot for that and very exciting for me."
