The one who tried to raise the state of the team is the Rio 2016 Olympic bronze medalist, Uri Sasson, who published a post and wrote:
"I was there. I know exactly how it feels to lose in a target competition. Months of preparation on the judo mat, the gym and the psychologist's couch. You Trying to collect everything that can bring you a little closer to the podium, and still, even when you do everything right, nothing guarantees you a medal. And if that's not enough, add to it the dimension of tremendous pressure. You know that everything is broadcast and that everyone expects you, the sponsors, the professional team , the Israeli audience".
Sasson added: "Can you imagine yourself competing in the world championship of - the best employee, in your field of occupation while the whole country is watching you? Think how disturbed it is. One day will determine whether you are good or not good?".
"Tomorrow the team competition - whether there will be a medal or not, give a little more credit to the athletes, to the coaches. They work so hard to succeed. They don't deserve to read insulting posts. Even so, they are disgusted inside. Believe me, none of them spare themselves Criticism. I know them closely. The Olympics are approaching, it's time to cheer for one of the most successful industries in the State of Israel."
Baruch Shamailov will be absent from the group competition
As mentioned, the team competition will start tomorrow, in the same format in which Israel won the bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Tokyo two years ago, with the blue-whites waiting in the second round for the winner of the match between Austria and the host country.
The one who will be absent from this competition is Baruch Shamailov, because of a blow he received in the eye socket in his last fight when the team decided that the eye was still in the healing stages and it would be dangerous for him to receive another blow that would aggravate the injury.
