Israeli windsurfers win gold, silver at Euro championships

Israel’s Tamar Steinberg won gold and Shahar Tibi took silver at the European Windsurfing Championships in Portimão, Portugal, on Saturday.

“Two Israeli athletes on the podium once again proving Israel’s strength on the world stage,” the Foreign Ministry, which runs the country’s X account, wrote.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said on Monday that he had congratulated Steinberg and Tibi that morning, along with their coach, Shahar Tzvary.

“Shahar, Tamar, and Shahar—this is your spirit that brought about this magnificent achievement,” Herzog wrote on X. “Your impressive accomplishments have brought great honor to the State of Israel on the international stage, and I wish you tremendous success on the road ahead!”
