Israeli athletes march in the Paris 2024 Olympics closing ceremony at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France, as the games wrap up.
Israel’s flagbearers at the ceremony are gold medal winner Tom Reuveny, the men’s windsurfing champion, and Romi Paritzki, captain of the rhythmic gymnastics team, which won silver in the all-around final yesterday.
Most of Israel’s athletes have already returned home, but Reuveny, Paritzki and the rest of the delegation, including Olympic Committee of Israel president Yael Arad, are slated to arrive back in Tel Aviv tomorrow afternoon. Israel won seven medals throughout the games, its biggest haul in a single Olympics.
