7
he Pan Am Maccabi
Games this month featured
2,500 athletes from 15
countries, terrific results
from the U.S. team and tremendous
efforts by two Detroiters.
Approximately 325 athletes and sup-
port personnel made up the United
States delegation. The games were held
from July 11-19, with members of the c-\
U.S. contingent arriving in Mexico
three days in advance foi training, tour-
ing and time to adjust to the 7,000-foot
elevation.
As the player/coach of the U.S. 10-
pin bowling team, West Bloomfield
resident Phil Horowitz was thrilled to
once again be rolling strikes in
Maccabi action. He eventually won a
gold medal in the ream event and a
bronze in triples.
"Everybody has been extremely
accommodating and since we knew
some of the bowlers from the
Maccabiah Games in Israel in 1997 it
makes it that much more fun," said
Horowitz, an insurance and invest-
ments officer who, at age 60, was
probably the oldest athlete in the
open division. "My intent when I
came here was to meet as many peo-
ple and get as many e-mail addresses
from around the world as possible.
And if I didn't bowl I would have
never had that opportunity."
A life-long bowler with a 225 aver-
age, Horowitz, who qualified for the /
team with the third-highest average,
still haunted by the bridge collapse at
the Maccabiah Games in Israel in
1997. Bowler Greg Small and three
other Australian athletes were killed.
"It effected me terribly because the
day before the competition was to start
I was bowling with Greg, and when
something tragic like that happens,
especially at my age, you realize there is , T/\
more to life than competition and win-
ning. You realize how precious life itself
really is," said Horowitz.
He added, "Here in Mexico, going
to the Shabbat service was something
I'll always cherish and when our host
family kissed me and said `Shabbat
shalom' it was just like they were fam-
ily.
"This is a great experience because '\
you grow up in your own Jewish area
and never know Jews from outside
and now you get to meet other Jewish
people from all over the world. If it
wasn't for Maccabi, these things
would never have happened."
The games were held at the Centro
Desporto Israelita (Center for Jewish
Sports), a huge complex featuring an <
Olympic-size swimming pool, water
polo and diving facility, 13 red clay ten-
nis courts, two
basketball/volleyball/indoor soccer
gyms, outdoor soccer fields, a softball
stadium and restaurants. There was
competition in 14 sports.
