A day after Olympic medalist and former world judo champion Jordan Jarbi revealed on social media that she is currently in a relationship with a girl, the women's judo team also commented on her words.
Raz Hershko, European runner-up, said: "I'm very happy for her that she found love and she feels at peace with herself and that it came out like this. Everyone has their own personal life, and I hope it will give courage and support to many more women, people and society in general."
The coach of the women's team, Shani Hershko, who is by Jarbi's side in the biggest moments of her career, added: "99 percent of what people talk about is different from what I talk about with Jordan. It is true that she has not been on the mat for several years, but the relationship between us is very, very close."
"We talk a lot, we consult, we have a very good relationship and I prefer to keep the conversations between us, of course whatever Jordan chooses and does she has my backing and love and what is most important to me is that she be well, and if she is well I am happy," Hershko added.
As I remember, yesterday Jarbi published her new relationship and wrote: "Love at first sight. Sometimes we don't know why things happen, maybe these are the thoughts that someone sent us something good, or maybe even fate? This is Dana, my partner.
"I fell in love with her from the moment our eyes met, and since then the love has only grown stronger. The feeling of happiness that has accompanied me lately, the butterflies in my stomach, the joy of life, the smile from ear to ear just like that, all thanks to her. So thank you."
