We still haven't had time to recover from the World Championships for seniors in athletics, and here tonight (between Sunday and Monday) the world championship under the age of 20 started in Santiago de Cali in western Colombia, with the best athletes of the industry.
Five Israeli athletes made the long way to Colombia where they will want to continue the positive momentum in recent times.
At the top of the list, Israel's champion Blessing Afrifa, who will run the 200 meters.
In the last year he managed to offset 39 hundredths from his personal best and set the clock at 20.55 seconds, which is also the Israeli record, which he set at the beginning of July in Germany.
The talented 18-year-old runner, accompanied by his coach Igor Balon, will hope to first pass the qualifiers this Wednesday (3.8 at 9:25 p.m.), to continue to the decisive stages and possibly make it to the last eight among the 70 participants.

Also in the delegation, Atka Damasya, who will compete in the 5000 meter run and in the last year offset 15.16 seconds from his record and set it at 14:08.76 minutes.
Demsia will enter the competition circuit already tonight (3:25), when Tomer Moalem will participate in the 3000 hurdles run, with the aim of advancing to the semi-finals.
The one who will try to advance to the semi-finals, and maybe even more, is Linoi Levy in the 100-meter hurdles, with Shir Karnivski also participating.
(Qualifying 4.8, at 19:05).
