A Modern Orthodox Jew from West Orange, New Jersey, Kops had plans to attend nursing school before being offered a chance to vie for a spot on Israel's Olympic team.
The woman who supervises the promotion of women in sports at the Culture and Sport Ministry, Nurit Sharvit, explains what might be behind the success of Israel's female Olympic athletes.
In 2018, Russian Dina Averina won gold in the world championships after dropping her ribbon, while Israeli Linoy Ashram won silver. Back then, the ROC had no complaints about the score.
"I am satisfied with the score I gave," Ukrainian Olympic Judge Lydia Vinogradnaya said on Monday.
The competition celebrates the significance of physics and aims to encourage the study of science and technology among high school students worldwide.
Nikol Zelikman places 7th with impressive finish on ribbon exercise • Team Israel qualifies for group all-around Rhythmic Gymnastics final held on Sunday
Israeli runner Chemtai Salpeter had been in 4th place throughout the race before stopping temporarily, 4 km. from the finish line, leading her to an eventual 66th place finish.
Rhythmic gymnast Linoy Ashram hopes to win big with the rest of her team, and Israel's runners prepare to go the distance in athletics.
The Olympic Games proves who the cream of the crop really is and in this case, the Israeli team rather than the individuals rose to the top.
