Today (Thursday), the Israeli national team won the World Championship in Tashkent with a bronze medal in the team competition, and the one who was part of the great victory is the European champion from two years ago, Peter Palachik.
"It's fun to end the championship like this," he said at the end.
"A long day and hard battles, a crazy day. We've had a difficult week, both for women and men. I can say that from the sidelines I've seen men and women fighting for medals and there was a dime to the pound."
"The X-factor was missing for everyone on the personal side, including me, a fourth world championship in which I am unable to reach the podium, to bring Peter whom everyone knows, and precisely on the team day, as happened in the Olympics, there is such a feeling of deja vu," added Peltz Yuck.

So what happened today?
"I brought the animal instinct that I know how to bring with me to the mattress and it worked. But that's the question of why this is happening. There are no excuses for losing, today it worked and tomorrow it didn't. I will know how to do things with myself, in order to come the most prepared in six months in Qatar, which I promised I would finish the career with a medal in the world championship."
And in the team competition there is a different atmosphere - you seem very cohesive
"There is something about our energy as a team. There is amazing chemistry and every victory brings positive momentum and even those who lose are given the wind at their back and for one moment they are not allowed to understand that they have been disappointed. There is something about our nation of fighters when our backs are against the wall, when today was like that in almost every fight ".

And the next destination - the Jerusalem Masters, are you excited?
"A special event, a judo festival. This time, not 4-5 thousand spectators, but double. We hope to see full stands and the support of the entire country, and as far as we are concerned, we will bring ourselves to the mat as we know how."
In the meantime, Minister of Culture and Sports Hili Trooper congratulated the team's victory and said: "Congratulations to the judo team for winning the bronze medal at the World Championships! Proud of you for the achievement. Congratulations to all the members of the team, the coaches and the union. Great pride."
