Israeli swimmer Ami Dadaon wins a silver medal in the men’s 150m individual medley in the SM4 disability category at the 2024 Paris Paralympics, his second medal in Paris so far.
The 23-year-old swimmer won gold in the men’s 100m freestyle on Friday. Dadaon, who was born with cerebral palsy and began swimming as a child as part of his physiotherapy, came home with three medals from the Tokyo Games three years ago — gold in the 50m freestyle, silver in the 150m individual medley, and gold in the 200m freestyle.
Dadaon has additional chances at further medals later in the week, when he swims in the 200m freestyle and the 50m freestyle.
His win marks Israel’s third medal today, after rower Moran Samuel won gold in the women’s singles and duo Shahar Milfelder and Saleh Shahin won bronze in the mixed double sculls. So far, Israel has won six medals at the Paris Paralympics, including a gold in taekwondo.
