Rhythmic gymnast Neta Rivkin was in 14th place after the first day of the preliminary round of the London Games on Thursday.

Rivkin received a mark of 27.450 in the hoop apparatus and a 26.200 in her performance with the ball. She lost significant points during her second routine when she dropped the ball and scampered to recover it. She was scheduled to compete with the clubs and ribbon during the second day of competition on Friday.

Friday, August 10

Who’s a must-watch? Neta Rivkin, one of Israel’s top gymnasts, hopes to make it through to as many finals as possible.
