New York (JTA) — Israel, a
country not known for
winter sports, will be repre-
sented for the first time in
the Winter Olympics by an
immigrant from the former
Soviet Union.
Mikhail Shmerkin, a 23-
year-old figure skater, will
represent Israel next month
in Lillehammer, Norway. He
was previously a champion
Soviet skater, finishing fifth
in the Youth World Cham-
pionship held in the United
States in 1985.
Mr. Shmerkin, known as
Misha, was born in Odessa,
Ukraine, where he began
skating at the age of 4. At
13, he went to a special
boarding school for gifted
athletes.
In 1989, Mr. Shmerkin
was a skating champion of
Ukraine in the senior divi-
sion.
Despite his successes, Mr.
Shmerkin's mother, Alex-
andra, thought her son was

Mikhail Shmerkin
will represent Israel
next month in
Lillehammer,

being neglected by sports
authorities because. he was
Jewish.
For this reason as well as
the lack of training oppor-
tunities for Misha's sister,
Hannah, who is now 16 and
an Israeli tennis champion,
the family decided to make
aliyah.
They arrived in Israel in
1991, brought to Israel as
part of the United Jewish
Appeal's ongoing Operation
Exodus campaign, which has
resettled nearly 500,000
Soviet Jewish refugees in
Israel.
Mr. Shmerkin trains most
of the year at Israel's
Canada Centre close to the
Lebanese border, and has
also returned to Russia, to
Siberia, for additional train-
ing for the Olympics.
Immigrants from the
former Soviet Union with
substantial athletic training
have invigorated Israel's
sports pantheon. Eleven
olim from the former Soviet
Union competed for Israel in
the 1992 Barcelona summer
games.
Yael Arad — not a Soviet
immigrant — was the first
Israeli to win an Olympic
medal. She won a silver
medal in judo at the
Barcelona games.
