Israeli gymnast Artem Dolgopyat, widely considered Israel's greatest athlete, secured his fourth World Championships medal on Saturday, earning bronze in the floor exercise final at the Rotterdam event. The 29-year-old Olympian, who won gold in 2023 and silver in 2017 and 2019, achieved a score of 14.466 in the final. He initially placed second after his routine but was ultimately surpassed by Great Britain's Jake Jarman, who scored 14.600 in the final performance.
This marks Dolgopyat's fourth World Championships medal. He qualified for the final in third place with a score of 14.300, which he improved upon in the final round. Dolgopyat, the reigning European champion, is also the Olympic champion from Tokyo and the Olympic silver medalist from Paris.
Another Israeli, 18-year-old Noam Barkovitz, also made history by becoming the second Israeli to compete in a World Championships final. Barkovitz, in his first year as a senior gymnast, finished in seventh place with a score of 13.500. He had qualified in seventh place from the preliminaries with a score of 14.033. His final score was impacted by a two-tenths penalty for a rough landing and a less favorable execution compared to his preliminary performance.
Other notable competitors included American Fredrick Richard, who took the lead with 14.633 points, and Olympic champion Carlos Yulo of the Philippines, who struggled with errors and finished last with 13.233 points. Russian talent Arseniy Dukhovny also underperformed, scoring 13.666 for sixth place.
Earlier in April, Dolgopyat and Barkovitz both medaled at a World Cup event in Osijek, where Dolgopyat won gold and Barkovitz took bronze.
