Toumarkin out, Bloch in back, but hope springs eternal in Rio
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWith the last swimmers in the 100 meter backstroke finishing up, Toumarkin does in fact miss the semifinals, putting all of Israel’s hopes for Sunday on cyclist Shani Bloch, who has 60 kilometers to go in her Rio road race, where she is well back in the pack.
But fear not, for the sun also rises on Israeli hopes of Olympic glory on Monday, with blue-and-white competitors in men’s air rifle, men’s 73kg judo, women’s 200-meter freestyle, and men’s 200-meter butterfly.
