Paralympic rower Shahar Milfelder after winning bronze at the European Championships: 'We're aiming for gold'

Paralympic rower Shahar Milfelder and her partner Saleh Shahin won a bronze medal at the European Rowing Championships in Italy. The duo, who also took bronze at the Paris 2024 Paralympics, are now targeting gold at the World Championships to be held later this month in the Netherlands. In an interview with Davar, Milfelder spoke about the training camp in Italy, the feeling of missing out in the final, and the growth of the sport with the inclusion of wounded soldiers from the Swords of Iron war. She noted that the strongest teams are the Chinese, Germans, and Ukrainians, but they focus on themselves. Milfelder, who was diagnosed with bone cancer at age 15 and underwent life-saving surgery, only began rowing in October 2022. She hopes their achievements will advance Paralympic sports in Israel.
