Israeli Dance Duo Wins Four Gold Medals at World Cup
Israeli dancers Tomer Margalit, who dances in a wheelchair, and Orel Klaf, a dancer and choreographer, have achieved a remarkable success at the World Dance Cup held in Slovakia, securing four gold medals. The victories came in four different categories: Latin style and Freestyle, competing both individually and as a pair.
Margalit and Klaf, who are coached by choreographer Yelena Feitlicher, are the reigning World Champions from 2025 and are experiencing another successful competition season. "After countless hours of training, preparation, pressure, and sacrifice, we came to the World Cup to compete at the highest level and represent our country on the international stage," Margalit stated. "We are returning home with an amazing achievement, four gold medals."
Margalit expressed immense pride in their accomplishments, highlighting the profound significance of standing on the top podium spot, representing Israel, and hearing the national anthem, especially during the current times. She extended gratitude to the organizers for a beautiful competition and specifically thanked their coach Yelena Feitlicher and their support network.
This achievement follows the duo's appearance at the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games in Paris, an event broadcast globally to millions.
