The gift for the Olympic medal-winning athletes includes an annual budget for restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies, and more. Cibus will provide this benefit to the six medalists, granting each NIS 600 per month for a year. The recipients are sailors Tom Reuveny and Sharon Kantor, gymnast Artem Dolgopyat, and judokas Peter Paltchik, Inbar Lanir, and Raz Hershko. Should the Israeli team win additional medals, those athletes will also receive the budget.
The company stated, "Each of them will be given a dedicated monthly budget for their use, a gift from Cibus. Cibus will look into how to support these outstanding athletes over the next four years until Los Angeles. In the meantime, we wish and hope for more Olympic medalists."
Eitan Zinger, CEO of Cibus Plexi, noted, "These great athletes maintained a very rigorous training and nutrition schedule to achieve the coveted status of an Olympic medalist. We are all proud of them and celebrate with them. After such a stressful period, they deserve to eat well, and this is our way of saying thank you on behalf of everyone."
