The Israeli team in the men’s 4×200m swimming freestyle relay — made up of Bar Soloveychik, Tomer Frankel, Gal Cohen Groumi and Denis Loktev — finishes 9th and last in the final at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a time of 7:10.22.
In the qualifier for the event, the team set a new Israeli record with a time of 7:08.43, advancing to Israel’s first final of the Paris Games and its first ever Olympic final in this event.
Frankel swam tonight in place of Eitan Ben Shitrit, who competed in the event this morning and helped Israeli qualify for the final.
The UK takes gold, the US silver and Australia bronze in the relay.
