Two Israeli swimmers won gold medals in the 2018 World Para Swimming European Championships in Dublin, Ireland, on Monday.
Israel’s Culture and Sports Minister Miri Regev took to Twitter to celebrate athletes Inbal Pezaro, 31, and Ami Dadaon, 17, telling them, “You have brought honor to the State of Israel!”
Dadaon won the 100-meter freestyle race in his first men’s European championship, with a new personal record of 1:25.40.
Pezaro and Dadaon are members of the ILAN Haifa swimming club.
