Israeli cyclist Michael Yakovlev was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the keirin event on Sunday, marking the end of Israel's participation in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Yakovlev finished fifth in his heat, narrowly missing the top four places needed to advance.

Israel's Olympic delegation achieved unprecedented success, securing seven medals and ranking 38th in the overall medal table. This performance represents a significant improvement from previous Olympics, with Israel winning more medals in Paris and Tokyo combined than in all 16 previous Olympic Games.

The delegation's achievements include:

- Gold: Tom Reuveny (Sailing)

- Silver: Israel's rhythmic gymnastics team (Shani Bakanov, Adar Friedman, Romi Paritzki, Ofir Shaham, and Diana Svertsov)

- Silver: Inbar Lanir and Raz Hershko (Judo)

- Silver: Sharon Kantor (Sailing)

- Silver: Artem Dolgopyat (Gymnastics)

- Bronze: Peter Paltchik (Judo)

The rhythmic gymnastics team's silver medal performance in the all-around final was particularly notable, with their routine concluding dramatically at the last moment.

As the Paris Olympics come to a close, Israel's record-breaking medal haul marks a new high point in the country's Olympic history.
