Amid war, Israeli Para athlete proudly displays her nation's flag at Milan Cortina Paralympic Games
CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — The only Israeli athlete at the Milan Cortina Paralympics will leave the Games without a medal but full of pride from displaying her nation's flag at a time of distress back home. Sheina Vaspi's best finish was 12th place in the women's Para alpine combined standing race. Israel and the United States launched a military attack on Iran on Feb. 28, less than a week before the opening ceremony at Milan Cortina.
