Winning the gold medal was for me something very special, it was the climax of 8 very long and hard years of training. My crew Beni Vexler, Aronon Efrati and our coach Gil Yakimov experienced the best and sweetest dream of an athlete – to succeed in doing all what we know in the right time and place.
We had a great competition and our competitors were very tough and strong, so all the credit to the other teams that won the medals and participated in such a great sportsmanship way.
I learned about myself a lot in the whole process of building a crew, team work, listening and accepting other ways of thinking, dealing with problems of other people and upgraded my life with great memories that will go with me forever.
It’s a long way and one has to set his targets, if you don’t do so you will never get anywhere.
To make those around you believe in the goal takes a lot of patients and endless efforts but the satisfaction in the end is worth it all.
Not always we succeed in what we do but what I found important in life, is to-do things. You have to try and move yourself forward, doing makes things happen, we don’t know sometimes where it will end, but we become more positive and lots of roads start to open all around us. The feeling of doing is very unique and I believe in it.
