The year 2022, which will end in three days, was the most successful year in Israeli Olympic sports, with a record number of 24 medals in the World and European Championships, all in ten different disciplines.
This was also the year in which the criteria for the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 began, when 120 tickets were already awarded around the world, five of which also went to the artistic gymnastics team of Israel, after the silver medal at the world championships in Bulgaria in a hard fought battle.
But this is just the beginning, when hundreds of thousands of athletes around the world, will fight in the next 500 days, for 11 thousand places to participate in the games in the French capital.
It is not yet known what will happen to the Russian and Belarusian athletes, despite the attempts to move them to compete in Asia, following the war in Ukraine.

For the blue and white, it will be difficult this time to break the record in Tokyo from last year, in which 90 sportsmen and women took part, all because of the withdrawal of the baseball branch.
Either way, even in two years, the participation will be large and impressive, when according to estimates by the Olympic Committee, 65-70 athletes will arrive.
So in order to make order, get the branches and the dates we will follow and see if the Israeli athletes will really take their place on the flight to Paris:
Gymnastics.
The Olympic champion Artyom Dolgopiat and his friends, will mark September 29 in Belgium, as the main goal, where they can achieve the criterion in the World Championship through finals on any device or the competition of the battle.
