Tiktekno: clip summarizing today's events in sports, 4.2/Sport1
The world of Israeli sports said goodbye today (Sunday) to Nisim Kivithi, the legendary broadcaster of the Israel Broadcasting Authority, who passed away at the age of 97. Kivithi was the voice that accompanied the sports broadcasts in the previous generation, when he broadcast significant sports events, and demonstrated immense knowledge and love of sports.
"Humble, sports-loving, knowledgeable, a journalistic masterpiece", this is how the football association defined the man who broadcast one of the most unforgettable moments in the history of the Israeli national team, that goal by Eli Ohana against Australia.
Journalist Zion Nanos from "Hadhot 12" wrote about the late Kiviti: "In 1960, Nissim Kiviti broadcast the amazing victory of Israel in Yugoslavia.
'This is Israel's greatest victory of all time,' the interviewer tells him in 2016.
'Yes', answered I hoped, 'but I didn't do it.
I just broadcast it.'
And this is the legacy of the late Kiviti for every journalist and broadcaster. To remember that we are not the story."

Indeed, I hoped he was blessed with an enthusiastic but restrained style, certainly not flashy and enthusiastic like nowadays.
He was a journalist of another day, another time, when, for example, Kifati hurried to get on the "helicopter" at the end of the game, to deliver the materials to the studio in Jerusalem.
A period when the Israel Broadcasting Authority provided the only television channel, and a dominant media body - but the Israel Broadcasting Authority also provided quite a few "falsehoods" and mythological errors, such as a broadcast in which I hoped missed a disqualification of a goal by Brazil against Spain in the group stage of the 1986 World Cup, and for many minutes stated that the Brazilians were in the lead Although the result was 0:0.

Of course, this does not detract from the appreciation for him, and certainly not from the connection with him.
The journalist Arel Segal said goodbye to the broadcaster and said about him: "We grew up on him, we grew up on his voice.
He was great in sports and athletics.
He is part of the soundtrack of my childhood. When there was only one channel, you would sit and wait for his voice and the
broadcasts of the Olympics." Presented and accessible to the Israeli audience, with knowledge and love of competition and human effort and gave a feeling as if each of the spectators was himself on the track, on the field or in the hall and swept us into the great excitement.
We grew up on the soundtrack of your miracles, we learned from you modesty and true passion.
His memory will be in our hearts."
