Israeli Olympian Angered by Commentator's Remarks

Israeli Winter Olympian Adam Edelman expressed outrage after TV commentator Stefan Renna questioned his inclusion in the Games during a bobsleigh event broadcast.

Edelman, who is competing in both two-man and four-man bobsleigh events, took to social media to condemn what he called Renna's 'diatribe' against him. The commentator had criticized the International Olympic Committee's decision to allow the Israeli athlete to participate.

The controversy erupted during Edelman's run in the two-man bobsleigh, where Renna questioned the IOC's greenlighting of his participation, according to reports.
