“Rome was electric! The Games speak for themselves, Gold Medal winners who went undefeated, that should tell you something. When you accepted your medals at the awards ceremony, I was most proud of each of you. But throughout the Games, nothing impressed me more than your overwhelming desire to succeed and your commitment to represent your particular Jewish community and Maccabi USA with finess and class, even when a few unforeseen obstacles were set in our path. I was honored to be your coach.”
