Hey, look at that

Israel's first gold, and the first time "Hatikva" has been officially played at the Olympics. And it's for windsurfing! The guy has an appropriate name, too, because gal means "wave" in Hebrew.

My teacher was all excited. I wish I had a TV so I could've watched the ceremony. Apparently it was very moving.
