Israeli sailing team sets
course for Olympic gold
New York — Since its
first trip to the Olympics in
1952, Israel's athletes have
yet to stand on the winner's
platform and hear Hatikua
played by the Olympic or-
chestra. In fact, the closest
Israel has come to winning a
medal was when weightlif-
ter Edward Weitz placed
fifth in the 1976 Olympics.
But this year, Isreel's best
chance ever to win its first
Olympic medal rests not
with its sprinters, swim-
mers, or sharpshooters, but
with two sailors.
When Shimshon Brok-
man, 27, and Eitan Fried-
lander, 26,, set the jib of
their 470 class sailboat off
the coast of Long Beach,
Calif., it will be the climax
of a sailing career which
began in 1972 when the
sailing duo won the Youth
World Championship in
West Germany.
Brokman, a student at
the Technion-Israel Insti-
tute of Technology, and
Friedlander, an employee of
a marine equipment com-
pany, were highly favored
for a medal in the 1980
Olympic sailing competi-
tion. But the duo's road-to-
the-gold was temporarily
detoured when Israel joined
the United States in boycot-
ting the Moscow Olympics
that year.
The two sailors have
spent the subsequent four
years winning trophies in
international competitions
in France, Hungary and
most recently, the 470
World Championships in
England. These competi-
tions have not only earned
the Israeli sailing team
worldwide recognition and
have kept their instincts
and reflexes honed to
Olympic caliber, but have
also given them the benefit
of racing against the men
and boats they will face in
this year's Olympics.
In 1980, there were only
five countries whose sailng
skill. posed a challenge to
the Israelis. But in the past
four years, the field of
competition has grown
broader and stiffer. There
are now at least ten coun-
tries whose sailing teams
are on par with Brokman
and Friedlander.
"A good sailor must com-
bine strength, intelligence,
technique, knowledge, in-
tuition and tactics if he
wants to win a sailing
competition," says Brok-
man who, when he isn't sail-
ing, is studying for a Mas-
ter's degree in aeronautical
engineering at the Techn-
ion in Haifa. "The speed you
achieve is a result of how
well these factors are put
together."
Both Brokman and Fried-
lander find that being their
country's best chance for the
Olympic spotlight has its
pressures. In such a small
country, they say, with only

Shimshon Brokman: "We have a good chance."
37 athletes competing in ten
events, the tendency of
well-wishers is to expect too
much.
While the sailing teams
from New Zealand, France,
Australia, Great Britain
and the United States will
make for a lively and close
race, one Olympic observer
comments that the Israeli
team of Brokman and Fried-
lander is as "intelligent, ag-
gressive and skillful" as any
of the 28 nations in Olympic
sailing competition.
"I'm not saying that we'll
win," says Brokman, "what
I'm saying is that we're as
good as any of the other
sailors we'll be competing
against. We have a good
chance."
Meanwhile, back in Is-
rael, many Israelis are
going without sleep, staying
up until early morning
hours to watch live televi-
sion coverage of the Olym-
pics because of the time dif-
ference in Los Angeles.
Television viewers in
Jordan, however, experi-
enced a temporary blackout
of their TV sets during the
live broadcast of the open-
ing ceremonies when the Is-
raeli contingent marched
past the cameras. Jorda-
nian television had telecast,
with commentary, the
teams from Hong Kong,
Iraq and Ireland and then
blacked out for the Israeli
team. Coverage resumed as
soon as the team was out of
camera range and the Ita-
lian team came into view.
