Israel is sending its first ever bobsled team to the upcoming Winter Games in Milan, marking a historic moment for the country. The team is made up of athletes from diverse sporting backgrounds, including a pole-vaulter, sprinter, shot-putter, rugby player, and a previous skeleton Olympian. Despite having little experience in bobsledding before this season, the group, led by AJ Edelman, has qualified for the Games and hopes to inspire future generations of Israeli athletes. Their journey comes amid international scrutiny and calls for boycotts due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, but the team remains proud to represent Israel on the world stage. They aim to lay the foundation for future success in winter sports and serve as role models for young Israelis.
