Israeli windsurfer Tom Reuveny claimed first place in the men’s final at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Saturday, becoming only the fourth Israeli to earn Olympic champion status. His victory follows a string of three silver medals and a bronze for Israel in these Games.
Reuveny, 24, secured his first major international title with this win, having never medaled in the World or European Championships in adult categories. His unexpected triumph is being hailed as a historic upset, marking one of the most significant surprises in Israel’s Olympic history.
