Tokyo 2020

In 2018, Russian Dina Averina won gold in the world championships after dropping her ribbon, while Israeli Linoy Ashram won silver. Back then, the ROC had no complaints about the score.

"I am satisfied with the score I gave," Ukrainian Olympic Judge Lydia Vinogradnaya said on Monday.

Tokyo was born in early July to 12-year-old orangutan Tana, who for the first few days, did not so much as let strangers catch a glimpse of her cub, who hid in her mother's fur.

After being postponed for a year, organizers said they would be held as a symbol of the world's triumph over the pandemic.

Nikol Zelikman places 7th with impressive finish on ribbon exercise • Team Israel qualifies for group all-around Rhythmic Gymnastics final held on Sunday

Rhythmic gymnastics superstar Linoy Ashram, already a household name, was on her way to making history by being the first Israeli woman to win a gold medal at the Olympic Games.

Israeli runner Chemtai Salpeter had been in 4th place throughout the race before stopping temporarily, 4 km. from the finish line, leading her to an eventual 66th place finish.

An Olympic medal event since 1984, rhythmic gymnastics sees athletes perform contortions and maneuvers to music while using hoops, balls, clubs or ribbons.

27-year-old Teddy Vlock fell from his horse during the jumping team qualifiers, leading to the Israeli team's elimination from the event.

A sprinter caused a diplomatic incident when she said her coaches had cut her Tokyo Games short, demanding she pack her bags at the Olympic village and taking her to the airport.

Rhythmic gymnast Linoy Ashram hopes to win big with the rest of her team, and Israel's runners prepare to go the distance in athletics.
