Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
Israel is expected to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games have been postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Since Israel's debut in 1952, Israeli athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, other than the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, which it opted not to attend because of the nation's support for the US-led boycott. It will be Israel's 17th appearance at the Summer Olympics.
In the prior Olympics, a total of 47 Israeli athletes (22 men and 25 women) traveled to the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympics and competed across 17 sports. It was Israel's largest-ever Olympic delegation, breaking its previous record of 43 athletes set in 2008.[2][3] Among the sports competed in by the athletes, Israel will mark its Olympic debut in surfing (new to the 2020 Games), baseball (returning to the 2020 Games), and equestrian.

Sailing
Israeli sailors qualified three boats in each of the following classes. Gil Cohen and Noa Lasry secured a quota for the Israeli delegation by finishing 11th in the women's 470 event at the 2018 Sailing World Championships in Aarhus, Denmark.[20][21] Ofek Elimelech and Mia Morris finished twelfth and fourteenth in their respective RS:X classe. Both of these results promised two more quotas for the Israeli delegation.[22] Shay Kakon secured another quota for the Israeli delegation through the Europe Laser Radial qualification event at Vilamoura, Portugal.[23]
The Olympic Committee of Israel has not yet released all the names of athletes to participate in the delegation. Katy Spychakov secured her place on the Israeli squad, after she topped the overall ranking of the country's selection meets. Yoav Cohen finished in fifth place at the 2021 RS:X World Championships and reached a tie with Shahar Tzuberi in the ranking of the country's selection. The team's coach, Gur Steinberg, decided that Cohen would be the representative for the games in place of Zubari, who was chosen before the postponement of the Olympics. Shahar Tibi and Noya Baram were chosen to represent Israel in the 470 event and Shay Kakon was chosen in the Laser Radial event.

Surfing
Israel will send one surfer to compete in the women's shortboard at the Games. Anat Lelior secured a qualification slot for the nation as the highest-ranked surfer from Europe and one of the top 30 surfers in the overall open division at the 2019 ISA World Surfing Games in Miyazaki, Japan.[26] The quota is final as long as two other female athletes from Israel don't finish in qualifying positions at the 2021 ISA World Surfing Games in May-June 2021. In that case, the results from the 2021 World Surfing Games will prevail, and the quota from the 2019 ISA World Surfing Games will be reallocated to the next-best ranked from the respective continent.[27]
