The management of the Israel Olympic Committee approved this evening (Sunday) the recommendation of the professional committee headed by the former Olympic swimmer Adi Bichman and the director of the unit for accomplished sports to define the criteria for the Olympic Games Paris 2024 for the Olympic delegation.
The discussion on the subject began immediately after the end of the Tokyo Games - with the analysis of the preparation processes and the results - by the unit for high-achieving sports and discussions and professional meetings with the professionals, coaches and heads of industries with the aim of drawing operational conclusions for Paris 2024. After the establishment of the unit for high-achieving sports in the late 1980s, the criterion was set The Israeli money is a more rigid entry for the Israeli delegation to the Olympic Games, the purpose of which is to shape the delegation to the Olympic Games as having great chances of success and to eradicate the phenomenon of "participation with honor" and that the criterion is only the starting line and the expectation from the participants is to screw in the top 1/2 of the competitors and win Olympic medals.
All of these boiled down to the decision to recommend 3 recommendations to the management of the Olympic Committee:
1. The Israeli criterion for the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 will be the same as the international criterion 2. There is no wild card.
Updating the ability proof mechanism and determining the decision-making methods in order to maximize the athletes' performance in the Olympic Games in Paris.
Yael Arad, Chairman of the Olympic Committee in Israel: "In the last decade we have witnessed maturation and a real change in the DNA of achievement in Israeli sports, when the girls and boys competing in the international arena were born into a reality in which Israel is in the Olympic medal table, winning dozens of medals in the European and World Championships in every Olympic cycle in the disciplines different and winning Olympic medals is not a surprise but a national expectation.
"After the very comprehensive and methodological process led by the chairman of the professional committee, Adi Bichman, the experienced director general of the committee, Gili Lustig, in collaboration with the unit for high-achieving sports - I trust the new recommendations, which we will examine again after Paris 24 and Los Angeles 28 in order to make sure that they are continue to serve our vision and successful policy. Gili Lustig, CEO of the Olympic Committee: The international criteria have been tightened in many disciplines, also because several new disciplines have been added and the number of athletes remains the same, and also because of the International Olympic Committee's vision for gender equality.
Our decision to shift the focus to proving ability in the Olympic year is designed to ensure that all sportsmen and women will arrive at their best for the Olympic Games in Paris 2024.
Adi Bichman, chairman of the professional committee: "We went through a professional and transparent process in which the best professionals in Olympic sports in Israel were involved.
We conducted a detailed analysis of what is happening in Israel in individual and team sports in relation to the world.
I am happy that the management approved our recommendations and we continue with joint forces, with a momentum of action, in order to meet the goals set for Paris 24 and are already laying the foundations for Los Angeles 28."
