Israel’s five-woman rhythmic gymnastics team finishes its first routine of the group qualification event at the 2024 Paris Olympics in 7th position overall.
The team, made up of Shani Bakanov, 18, Adar Friedmann, 18, Romi Paritzki, 20, Ofir Shaham, 19 and Diana Svertsov, 19, competes in the 5 hoops stage of the competition, with music that includes a snippet of “Ehad Mi Yodea,” a traditional Passover song. The team receives a score of 35.250 after briefly dropping one of the hoops.
Later today, the team will compete in the 3 ribbons and 2 balls routine, and the top 8 out of the 14 teams overall after both rounds will advance to tomorrow’s final — where the qualifier scores are wiped clean.
