Israeli gymnast Artem Dolgopyat, who won the country’s first-ever gymnastics Olympic gold in the men’s floor exercise in 2021, finishes his floor routine in the qualifiers at the Paris Olympics.

He’s stayed in top form since Tokyo – winning gold at the World Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp, Belgium on October 7, 2023, as news of the mass assault on Israel was still unfolding.

Dolgopyat is considered Israel’s top contender in Paris for a medal, and possibly even a second gold.
