Israeli wheelchair tennis player Adam Berdichevsky, who lost his leg in a boating accident in 2007, has shown remarkable resilience and success in his sport. Despite facing numerous challenges, including a recent harrowing experience during a Hamas attack on his community, Berdichevsky is preparing to compete in his third Paralympic Games.

Despite the difficult year he has faced, Berdichevsky remains focused on his athletic goals and the hope for the safe return of the remaining hostages from the attack. His commitment to representing Israel on the international stage is unwavering, fueled by the support of his family and the desire to show resilience in the face of adversity.
With an impressive ranking in men’s wheelchair tennis and a history of success in international competitions, Berdichevsky is a seasoned athlete ready to showcase his talent once again. Alongside fellow Israeli athlete Lihi Ben David, he will lead the delegation with pride and determination, honoring his community and his country.
As Berdichevsky prepares to compete in the Paralympics, his story serves as a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the ability to overcome challenges with courage and perseverance.
