1. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made the following remarks: „This morning the Israeli delegation to the 2006 IPC World Swimming Championships in South Africa (tinyurl.com/w8ylq) returned with four gold medals and two silver medals. Yitzhak Mamistavlov, Inbal Pissarro and the other delegation members brought great honor to Israel, especially to Israeli sports. We will hold a festive reception at the Prime Minister’s Office in their honor.
I want to take this opportunity to praise Israeli swimmer Ania Gostomelsky for taking the Bronze medal at the European Championships. I am convinced that this marks just the opening gun before the 2008 Beijing Olympic and Paralympics.”
