Greetings!
Well, we are almost at the halfway point in the Games and I have to share with you that my favorite thing to do is to travel from venue to venue and watch the competition. Our athletes are wonderful sportsmen and women and it is great to see them compete. There have been many victories so far for the USA including the Rugby Sevens, Juniors Golf, Karate, Swimming, Wrestling, Fencing and Masters Golf.
One of the biggest thrills I have had so far is watching our powerful USA Swimming Team in action and seeing Garrett Weber-Gale receive his medal.
There is still much more competition to come and I look forward to meeting as many athletes as possible, on the courts, in the pool and on the fields.
Enjoy the competition, cherish your new friendships and take advantage of all the things Israel has to offer.
Lou Moyerman USA Team Manager
