Israeli Olympian Angered by Commentator's Remarks

Israeli Winter Olympian Adam Edelman has reacted with anger to TV commentator Stefan Renna's remarks during the two-man bobsleigh race.

Edelman, who is competing in both two-man and four-man bobsleigh events, was taking part in the former when Renna questioned the International Olympic Committee's decision to greenlight his inclusion. The commentator allegedly referred to Edelman as a 'genocide-supporting Zionist' during the broadcast.

The Israeli athlete has since expressed his outrage at what he described as Renna's 'diatribe.' Edelman's participation in the Winter Olympics has been controversial due to his Israeli nationality, with critics questioning the IOC's stance on athletes from countries involved in conflicts.
