Israeli Rhythmic Gymnast Daniela Monitz Debuts at World Championships in Frankfurt
Israeli rhythmic gymnast Daniela Monitz marked a historic moment as the first Israeli competitor at the World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships held in Frankfurt. On Wednesday morning, she opened the Israeli delegation's participation by performing two preliminary routines. Monitz scored 29.450 points in the hoop routine and 26.900 points in the ball routine. She is scheduled to complete the preliminary round on Thursday with performances in the clubs and ribbon events. After two days of preliminaries, the all-around rankings will be finalized, and the top eight gymnasts will advance to the finals in each apparatus.
Later on Wednesday, another Israeli gymnast, Meital Maayan Somkin, will begin her competition with the clubs and ribbon preliminaries. The Israeli individual gymnasts are supported by coaches Ayelet Zusman and Julieta Kantelopi, physiotherapist Natali Bartler, and judge Ela Samoplov. This participation marks a significant step for Israel in rhythmic gymnastics on the world stage.
