It's OK! They trained hard and they competed as Olympians. They didn't refuse to practice next to athletes from other countries and they didn't hide behind politics by saying they wouldn't compete against athletes from unfriendly countries. When they walked into that stadium last night, smiling and waving and carrying that flag they made alot of us stand up in a show of respect. They honored us by their years of preparation and the manner in which they have represented Israel. Love them, love them all; I could care less about the medal count. For those who won't be moving forward in competition, hang out, have fun and hopefully meet some nice people so they can see what fantastic and delightful people you are. To those waiting to compete, stay cool, stay calm, take it easy!

is not in their muscles and body, but IN THEIR BRAIN AND VERY HIGH INTELLIGENCE AND SMARTS. THIS IS WHAT COUNTS.

Torah Olympics and preservation of the Shabbat and no nation on Earth is equal to Israel in that.

Came 24th , yet was ahead of the Lebanese and Syrian swimmers. HAHAHA! that's a good one. Unfortunately, Israelis were and still are poor athletes. It just too demanding,too tiring and requires a discipline of steel. None of the Israeli traits! they should introduce arguing, procrastinating and dodging heavy work and you should see the medals pouring in!
