The Paralympic swimmer, Ami Dedown, 23 years old, who is of course ours from "Ilan Haifa" tonight (Tuesday, 3/8/2024) won his second gold medal and his third in the Paralympic Games at the Paris Olympics in France. Dedown continues to star in the Olympic pool and wins In the 200 meter freestyle final with an impressive and excellent result of 2:49.26 minutes, Dedown completes a huge double, just as he did in Tokyo. He has 6 Olympic medals.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that Ami Dedown was born prematurely 23 years ago in the Rambam Hospital in Haifa weighing only 1.300 kilos and as a result not enough oxygen reached the brain and suffered from cerebral palsy and paralysis in 4 limbs, as a child he started training in the pool at "Ilan" Haifa". This cannon has never given up and is currently defined as one of the best swimmers in the world in his level of disability, Dedown also volunteered to serve in the IDF. Following the winning of the gold medal again this evening, the giant Ami Dedown will receive a monetary grant with a very handsome sum of NIS 1.75 million for his impressive achievements in the pool at this Olympics.

Beyond being a talented athlete at all levels, Ami is the salt of the earth and his love for the State of Israel is evident in every part of his body.
