Israel's relay team was close to advancing tonight (Wednesday) to the finals of the European Under-18 Championship, which is being held in Givat Ram in Jerusalem, not before it had to run alone after an appeal.
The team includes Ido Peretz, Ohad Abergel, Eyal Uziel and Ivan Lazrov, who jumped to the mixed relay qualifiers, which includes a run for 100, 200, 300 and 400 meters, when in the last substitution the stick fell and they finished in last place.
However, after a judges 'examination following the team's appeal in blue and white, it became clear that a collision on the apostles' track with a Slovenian runner caused the stick to fall, and it was decided to let the team run once more in the evening, alone on the track.
Painted in battle colors in blue on their faces, and receiving support from 2,000 spectators, the quartet managed to finish in a time of 1: 56.92 minutes, just 6 hundredths of a place that would have put them in the final.
They took solace in the photo with the sports minister who came to cheer and even tried to measure the costume of the championship mascot Champi.

Balto Blau finished her competition in the javelin throw with a result of 35.27 meters and did not reach the final, when the girls' quartet in the mixed mission was disqualified.
Tomorrow (Wednesday), on the fourth and final day of the European Championships, the eyes will be on 20:10 towards Noam Memo who will try to bring a historic medal to Israel ever, when he runs in the 800 meters final.
