Israeli gymnast Linoy Ashram was recognized as the athlete of the year at home. This was reported on the page of the Israeli Olympic Committee on Facebook.
Among men, gymnast Artem Dolgopyat became the athlete of the year. At the Tokyo Games, he became an Olympic champion.
Ashram won the gold medal in the individual all-around at the Tokyo Olympics. The Israeli woman won the confrontation with the Russian gymnasts. She beat sisters Dina and Arina Averin, who took second and fourth places, respectively.
During her speech, the Israeli woman dropped the object. This provoked a refereeing scandal at the Games: representatives of the Russian delegation and sports officials criticized the refereeing at the competitions.
Ashram is a multiple winner of international competitions. In particular, she has six silver medals and five bronze medals at the world championships.
