The Israeli climbing team received a message this morning (Tuesday) from the organizers of the international competition in the Netherlands that they could not participate in the competition that will take place this weekend, because they are concerned about the safety of the Israeli team and the other participants.
Ayala Kerem, who is currently considered the top athlete in Israel in the field, is scheduled to participate in the competition, and is even marked by the Olympic Committee to go to the Paris Olympics, so her non-participation could harm the chances of reaching the games as well as those of Nimrod Marcus and Noa Sheeran.
The message received by the Israeli delegation stated: "It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you of the latest developments surrounding the participation of Israeli athletes in the Dock Masters. We fear disruptions during the event and are concerned about your safety, the safety of the other competitors, our team and the visitors. We have spoken with a number of experts and the National Climbing Association (NKBV) ) to interpret the situation. Unfortunately, this forces us to cancel your reservation, as we cannot monitor the security risks and ensure your safety. We deeply regret making this decision."

For those whose story sounds familiar, this was also the case a week ago with the World Hockey Association, which tried to prevent Israel's participation in the World Championship, but the pressure of all the parties in Israel from the Olympic Committee, the association, the Ministry of Sports and Minister Miki Zohar, as well as international parties, led to the change of the decision.
