Israeli Linoy Ashram won gold at the European Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships in Kiev, Ukraine on Sunday, November 29, writes the newspaper Times of Israel.

Ashram came narrowly ahead of his Belarusian rival Alina Harnasko and took the all-round title with 100.9 points. The victory came two days after the Israeli national gymnastics team won gold in the same category. The category includes performances with rings, cones and balls.

Rhythmic gymnastics is one of Israel’s strongest sports. Ashram has won over 20 medals in recent years, against a total of three medals for all other Israeli athletes throughout history. Ashram is therefore seen as one of the country’s biggest gold hopes at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, which due to Corona was postponed from 2020 to 2021.

But Ashram is not the only Israeli athlete to impress at the moment.

On Saturday, Israeli Peter Paltchik won gold at the European Judo Championships. Paltchik won over Russian Arman Adamian in the under 100 kg class.

Three Israeli windsurfers also won medals at the European Windsurfing Championships, including the first two places in the men’s class.
