Shabbat conflict ends Israeli Paralympic bid early – One-legged skier Sheina Vaspi finishes 15th in her first and only event as the second race was moved to Saturday due to weather considerations. | Israel21c

Sheina Vaspi, 20, the first athlete ever to represent Israel in the Paralympic Winter Games, finished the giant slalom in 15th place out of 22 skiers on March 11 in Beijing.
That was her only opportunity to represent her country because the other event for which she’d qualified was moved to Saturday from Sunday due to weather considerations, and Vaspi does not compete on the Sabbath.
