Arkia is warming up engines for the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris, which will take place in a few weeks. Last week, a solidarity event was held at Wingate organized by the Olympic Committee for the Olympic Games.

As part of the special day, the airline, the official carrier for the Paris 2024 Olympics, presented athletes and coaches of the delegation with LEGO figures from LEGO Store Israel, in their likeness.

Judokas Peter Paltchik and Raz Hershko simulated a judo battle with the dolls, with Hershko winning on points while Paltchik claimed he let her win.
