Israeli swimmer Anastasia Gorbenko continues to amaze at the World Swimming Championships in Abu Dhabi, winning a second gold medal two days after she secured Israel’s first ever first-place win at the contest.
Gorbenko, just 18, takes the gold in the 100-meter individual medley.
The swimmer will take part in the 100-meter breaststroke semifinals later today.
Friday saw Gorbenko win the 50-meter breaststroke, a first-ever gold for Israel at the championships. She also made history earlier this year when she became the first female Israeli swimmer to advance to an Olympic final.
