In Dr. Robert Tencer's heart, however, it might as well be millions. Dr. Tencer, 25, a chiroprac- tor with an office in Dear- born, worked with approx- imately 50 top Israeli athletes last summer at the Wingate Institute for Physical Educa- tion and Sport, Israel's Olym- pic training center, located near Netanya. Some of the athletes Dr. Tencer met will be competing in the Summer Olympics in Barcelona. He has corresponded with several athletes by phone, through the mail, and by fax since he left Israel, and he was reunited with a few Israeli gymnasts at the recent World Championships in Indianapolis. Dr. Tencer brought an Israeli flag to Indy and waiv- ed it in the stands during the competition. He also celebrated his birthday there with his friends from across the world. "I wish I could be with them in Barcelona, but I'll be watching the Olympics real closely on television," said Dr. Tencer, a West Bloomfield resident. "Hopefully, some of the athletes I worked with will able to visit the U.S. someday so I can see them again." Dr. Tencer was at Wingate for three months on a volun- tary basis. He paid his own way to Israel and back. While he was doing his internship at a private clinic in San Diego in 1990, he met the Israeli national gymnastics team and Wingate's director on one of their tour stops at the Jewish Community Center there. "I struck up a relationship with the director (Dr. Gilad Weingarten) and we started corresponding. I got real con- cerned for him and the athletes when the Gulf War started." Once the war ended, Dr. Tencer made his plans to head to Israel. While he was at Wingate, "I watched the athletes train, took care of their injuries, made sure they were healthy . . . in other words, I helped get them in top shape for corn- petition," Dr. Tencer said. "There's a real close family relationship at Wingate be- 1,st : Dr. Robert Tencer cause the athletes really have no other life. The only time they leave the place is when they go home on Shabbat to be with their families. "Because Israel is such a small country, everybody knows the top athletes. People recognize them. That puts a little pressure on them." Their lives are also made harder by the fear they could be the target of terrorists. In 1972 11 Israeli athletes and coaches were murdered by Arab terrorists in Munich. "Even though it's been 20 years since the horrible in- Dr. Tencer worked with 50 Israeli athletes. cidents at the Munich Olym- pics, Israeli athletes still have very heavy security when they travel," Dr. Tencer said. "One athlete told me they have bodyguards who carry Uzis. "Also, there's very little pay for the athletes who train so hard to make it to the Oym- pics. Israel's top female gym- nast, Carmit Borian, gets 300-350 shekels a month (one U.S. dollar equals 2.4 shekels), plus food and living expenses (125 U.S. dollars a month). "The athletes there were alw inquiring about get- ting American sponsors, but they didn't know how to go about doing it. I told them I would do my best to get the word out here." Some of the athletes Dr. Tencer worked with include Eran Garumi (100-meter backstroke swimmer); Vadim Bavikin (javelin); Rogel Nahum (triple-jump); Igor
