FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1991

gymnastics event — and
Masha Krupnikov, at 12
already a member of the na-
tional team. In the swimming
pool, young immigrants from
the Soviet Union and
Romania have been pushing
the local competition to the
limit. Timea Toth, a former
member of the Romanian na-
tional team, is seen as the
best prospect.
Five of the current national
water polo squad — three
Russians, a Romanian and a
Brazilian — immigrated dur-
ing the past year. In addition,
a number of top-class Soviet
Jewish players have con-
tacted the Israeli Water Polo
Association from the USSR.
Excited officials now talk
openly of Israel qualifying for
water polo in the Olympic
Games for the first time.
Russian-speaking
weightlifters and wrestlers
representing Israel at the
Olympics would be no novel-
ty. Igor Dandik, a 25-year-old
heavyweight with a world-
class lift of over 400
kilograms to his credit,
already looks likely to follow
a long line of Russian-born
Israeli Olympic weightlifters.
Probably the one sport to
have received the strongest
backing is wrestling. A
phenomenally popular
pastime in the USSR, it has
captured the imagination of
Israelis.
"Wrestling is going through
a transformation here
because of the Soviet aliyah,"
observed 53-year-old Mort
Geller, formerly of Miami,
Fla. A referee at the Seoul
Olympiad as a representative
of the USA, he will carry out
the same duties — this time
as an Israeli — in Barcelona.
"Emphasis is shifting from
the classic Greco-Roman style
to the faster and more attrac-
tive freestyle favored in
Russia,"he points out.
Top names include Roman
Sandler, 28, the new Israeli
freestyle champion; 21-year-
old Max Geller who placed se-
cond in the USSR youth
championships; Roteslav
Eisenburg, 18; and former
European champion Alex-
ander Haimowitz, 32. In the
more technical Greco-Roman
style, 27-year-old Boris
Tabechnik and Matvei
Baranov, 25, look likely
Olympic candidates.
Only a year ago, wrestling
was deemed in danger of
disappearing in Israel due to
apathy and lack of funds —
now Israel plans a six-strong
team — three in each
discipline — in the 1992
Games, just one example of
how the Soviet aliyah is
changing the face of Israeli
sport. 111
