From gymnastics to judo, Israel primed to strike Olympic gold in Tokyo – Israel’s 89-athlete delegation, its biggest-ever by far, includes top contenders, returning champions and no shortage of inspiring stories | Timesofisrael
When the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics kicks off next Friday night, 89 athletes will proudly march under the Israeli flag.
It’s the largest Israeli delegation to the Olympic Games in history, nearly double the previous high of 47 athletes at the 2016 Games in Rio. That jump is fueled largely by the 24 members of Israel’s first-ever Olympic baseball team. But the 2020 Games — held in 2021 after a year-long COVID delay, but not renamed — also mark Israel’s debut in surfing, archery and equestrian sports.
