Israel’s swimming team in the mixed 4×100m medley relay — made up of Anastasia Gorbenko, Ron Polonsky, Gal Cohen Groumi and Andi Murez — finishes 10th overall in the heats and does not advance to the final of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Gorbenko will swim in tonight’s semifinal in the women’s 200m individual medley, and Cohen Groumi will swim in the men’s 100m butterfly semifinal. If neither advance to the final, today will be the end of Israel’s indoor swimming events in Paris.

Matan Roditi is slated to swim the 10km open water race next Friday in the Seine River.
