Itzhak Ashpiz won a bronze medal at the European Championship in Tbilisi, Georgia after defeating Dilshod Khalmatov, the 2023 silver medalist. This is only the second European Championship for the 18-year-old. In his first, he didn't even make it past the first round, but now he has ended a streak of four championships in which Israel's men's team failed to win a single medal, marking a personal milestone in his promising career.
