Olympic Games

[edit]

There is no reliable sources about Barak Lufan's starts at the Olympic Games, as I believe reliable sources of this fact could be simply the full results of the event. Just someone called him Olympian after his death. Full results of the Canoe at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics are on Wikipedia (Canoeing at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Canoeing at the 2008 Summer Olympics). It's also easy to find it elsewhere (http://www.olympedia.org/). All results of Barak Lufan at the World senior events are here (https://www.the-sports.org/barak-lufan-canoeing-spf134628.html). And there is no single mention about any olympic starts. Another page: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/victims-of-tel-aviv-terror-attack-two-residents-in-their-20s-1.10729398 (“It is a terrible morning, tragic,” the executive director of the Israel Olympic Committee, Gili Lustig, said Friday. He described Lufan as a skilled kayaker from the Jordan Valley who particularly excelled in the 200-meter race, which was not an Olympic event during the years Lufan competed. It's important to add, that 200-meter races were (!) olympic events in 2012). The article from 2008 https://www.jpost.com/Jerusalem-Report/Beijing-Challenge-Extract "Kolganov is Israel's only kayak competitor in a sport that in past recent games had a larger turnout". About 2012 https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/olympics-2012-israel-taking-all-necessary-measures-to-protect-athletes/2012/07/24/gJQA5bRf6W_blog.html "With 37 Olympic athletes slated to compete in the London Games starting Friday, Israel is..." - and the list of 37 names is here: https://www.olympedia.org/countries/ISR/editions/54 .
