Israel’s Michael Kolganov, winner of a 2000 Olympic bronze medal in the 500m kayak event, took the silver medal in the kayak 500m event, along with the bronze for 1000m.
In the 1000m race, Kolganov was just behind Ro’i Yellin, who took home the silver medal. Yellin, it should be noted, also came in first in the B final (semifinal) of the 500m event.
Kolganov and Yellin’s teammate, Lior Karmi, brought Israel yet another medal - the silver - when she placed second in the women’s 1000m race.
