Who are the Jews in the 2010 Winter Olympics?

 

I have had some fans write in asking about the 2010 Winter Olympics and its Jewish representation. We know that Tamar Katz isn't there, but who is? To be honest not to many. Below are the 4 participants that we have tracked down.

Israel is sending 3 participants. Two of them are the brother and sister pair of Alexandra ad Roman Zaretzky. They are entered in the couples skating competition. "The Zaretskys emmigrated to Israel from Belarus in 1991, and the kids grew up skating on the ice at the Canada Centre in Metulla." - www.canadasisrael.ca

The third member of the Israeli delegation is Mikail Renzhin who is a downhill skier. Israel is hopeful that they can bring home two medals. For more on the Israeli delegation click HERE.

 Besides Israel we have been able to track down one other Jewish participant. Laura Spector will represent the USA as part of the Biathlon Team. The biathlon is a combination of cross country skiing and rifle shooting. For more on Laura click HERE.

We will keep searching for more Jewish participants as the games continue. We will also have articles on the Olympics so keep reading...if that's your thing.

And Let Us Say...Amen.
