Israeli gymnast Artem Dolgopyat won the bronze in the floor exercise final at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships Saturday in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Just two months ago, he took home the gold, winning the championship at the European Gymnastics Championships in Croatia. Before that win, he snagged two gold medals, one in April for floor gymnastics at the Osijek World Cup in Croatia and one in February at the FIG World Cup in Germany.

He is also the second Israeli to win an Olympic gold medal, taking the gold at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics before winning the silver at the 2024 Paris Games.

Dolgopyat earned Israel’s first gold medal in gymnastic at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Belgium on one of the country’s darkest days: Oct. 7, 2023. He stood at the podium with an Israeli flag marked with black tape as news of the massacre trickled in. Two months later, he auctioned off his gold medal and used the proceeds to help Israel’s Gaza border communities that had been destroyed in the attack, saying, “What is a world champion worth if my country is hurting? For me, the State of Israel is in first place.”

Israel’s Foreign Ministry cheered Dolgopyat’s latest victory with a post on X.

“Another World Championship medal for Artem Dolgopyat!” the ministry posted. “Israeli gymnast Artem Dolgopyat claimed bronze in the floor exercise final at the World Gymnastics Championships, scoring an impressive 14.466 points!”

“Another incredible achievement for one of Israel’s greatest gymnasts. Proud of you, Artem!” the ministry said.

“Artem has once again proven his place at the top of the world with a bronze medal at the World Championships, which joins a long series of achievements throughout his impressive career,” said Avi Sagi, Israel Gymnastics Federation chairman.

Last year, the champion was prevented from competing in the World Championships when Indonesian authorities refused him entry, citing their disapproval of Israel’s prosecution of its war with Hamas.
