Israel took part in these games and was a member of the big Olympic family, embracing over 160 nations of the world. Since Israel first participated in the games in 1952, in Helsinki, it has done so in each of the subsequent Olympics apart from those in Moscow in 1980. Up to this Olympic Games, 152 Israeli athletes, both men and women, have participated. While acknowledging the motto "The importance is not in winning but in participating", Israel also tries to live up to the other Olympic motto of "Citus - Altius - Fortius" (Faster, Higher, Stronger). Up to this Olympic Game ls, Israel has yet to win its first Olympic medal but the Israeli Olympic Committee is encouraging the country's sports institutes to elevate their athletic performance. To this day, the spirit of the 11 Israeli athletes, murdered at the Munich Olympic Games in 1972, lives in the minds of Israeli sportsmen.

The combined shipping policy is relevant FOR PINS, WINGS, SAMPLE SLABS, COINS, ELONGATED COINS, TOKENS, MEDALS and other SMALL ITEMS, is the full price for the auction with the highest shipping cost and then one additional dollar ($1) for each additional auction won. Larger items will be packed, weighed, and combined as well. If you win a few of my auctions, please ask to receive a combined invoice for everything you won. Please note that combined shipping only applies if you make ONE SINGLE PAYMENT for all the items won! International buyers - you must contact me before you bid to accurately determine the actual shipping cost! eBay's standard shipping costs are ridiculously high and do not reflect the actual cost of shipping internationally!!! Returns are not accepted, unless I make a mistake in the listing or I accidently send you the wrong item (and such mistakes do, unfortunately, happen, though seldom). If you have ANY question - please ask ahead of the closing of the auction, and please be kind as to give me a few hours to respond. Shipping is via the cheapest method I can find, unless you want me to ship it any other way, such as Priority USPS, UPS or FedEx. I can ship with any carrier, any way you want! I use eBay's system to calculate the shipping cost according to your location. Sometimes, eBay's shipping cost system is stupidly wrong and the cost is way too much. I have no idea why, since I always enter the correct weight and dimensions of the packed item. Nevertheless, if you think the shipping cost is too high, please send me a message, tell me your zip code and what you see as the shippin cost, and I'll check to see if I can ship for less. This item comes from a smoke-free, dog loving home. We have a beautiful dog, who loves to spread her hair on everything. Although I do my best to clean everything that I ship out, encountering some of her lovely hair is a possibility. I love to recycle, so there's a good chance that I will ship in a previously used envelope or box, and use paper and used grocery bags as packing and padding materials. All of my store items have a MAKE AN OFFER option. If you make a stupid offer, I might counter with a stupid offer of my own. An offer for a few dollars less is reasonable. An offer for half of the listed price is not serious. Good luck bidding!
