Gal Fridman appears to have won Israel's first gold medal in the Olympics (and become the first Israeli to win 2 Olympic medals). Coming into the final race of the Mistral class (wind-surfing), he was assured of a medal. In the end he won by 10 points. (With the Bronze won by Ariel Zeevi in the 100kg Mens Judo, we (Israel) now are equal to Switzerland in the medal tally.)

Australia is in a different league with 14 golds (and 37 medals overall).

My vertigo is now under treatment with anti-histamines. So not only am I dizzy from time to time, I also see the world through an anti-histamine haze.
