Israel’s figure skating team failed to qualify for the finals in the event.
At the end of the short program on Sunday Israel was in eighth place out of 10 teams, finishing ahead of Korea and France.
The ice dance team of Adel Tankova and Ronald Zilberg and women’s skater Aimee Buchanan finished in last place in their categories, both in competition on Sunday. On Friday, men’s skater Alexei Bychenko, skating to “Hava Nagila,” finished second in his short program, and the pairs team of Paige Conners and Evgeni Krasnopolski finished ninth.
Israel has never won a medal in the Winter Olympic Games. Its 10-member team is the largest delegation ever sent to a Winter Games by Israel.
Just in case you missed Alexey Bychenko 's short program (NBC didn't stream it) here it is!

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
