Additional information
REPRESENTING ISRAEL
He represented the Russian Federation in gymnastics earlier in his career. He joined the Israeli national team in 2018. "I moved to Israel because I felt that I had not fully realised my potential in the sport. But in Russia I could not match the competition and could not qualify for the national team. Since there are Jews in my family, according to the laws of Israel, I have the right to repatriation, and I used this right. My whole family lives in Russia, I moved alone."
