Gal Fridman, 1996 Olympics Atlanta

Fridman won the bronze medal in the windsurfing at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, at the age of 21.

"I knew from the start that without confidence, it is impossible to succeed," Fridman said after the race. "I was very calm and focused. I went for it with all my strength; I believed in myself, and I did it. I want to thank everyone for the support and the energy they sent me."

This was Israel's 3rd medal in the Olympics.
