Flagbearers in judo: Peter Paltchik (ISR)
Peter Paltchik, a prominent Israeli judoka, has faced significant personal challenges in the lead-up to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Born on January 4, 1992, he resides in Beer Yaakov, Israel, where he has become a symbol of strength and resilience. Paltchik is a father of two and has been deeply affected by the ongoing conflict in his country. His coach, Oren Smadja, tragically lost his son in the war, and Paltchik has stood by his side, offering support during these difficult times.
