Israeli gymnast Artem Dolgopyat secured a bronze medal on the floor exercise at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands, on Saturday. The 29-year-old Olympic champion scored 14.466 points in the final, finishing behind world champion Frederick Richard of the United States (14.633) and silver medalist Jake Jarman of Great Britain (14.600).
This marks Dolgopyat's fourth world championship medal, adding to his two silver medals from 2017 and 2019, and his world title won in 2023. The achievement is particularly significant for Dolgopyat, as he was unable to compete in the previous world championships held in Indonesia due to visa denials for Israeli athletes.
Dolgopyat, who is also the reigning Olympic champion from Tokyo 2021 and won silver at the 2024 Paris Games, continues to demonstrate consistent high-level performance. The Israeli delegation achieved a historic milestone in Rotterdam, with two Israeli gymnasts competing in the same world floor final for the first time. Noam Berkovich, in his first senior world championship final, placed seventh with 13.500 points.
Both Dolgopyat and Berkovich are members of Maccabi Tel-Aviv and were accompanied by their coach, Sergueï Weissbourg. Avi Sagi, President of the Israeli Gymnastics Federation, praised Dolgopyat for reaffirming his status among the world's elite and congratulated Berkovich on his debut final.
