Israeli firefighter Konstantin Krinitsky won a gold medal in the 17th World Games of Police and Firefighters, which are taking place these days in Los Angeles.
Krynitsky, the current champion of Israel in the decathlon, became the owner of gold in this sport after two days of persistent struggle in the conditions of anomalous heat.
"Maybe it's time to admit that I'm a firefighter, not an athlete from the first list, so from this point on, the Olympic Games for the security forces are my competitions." It was two exhausting days in the sun.On the first day I broke the Games record for the age Category 30+ in high jump, showing a result of 2.06 meters, "- said Constantine.
The next day he showed himself perfectly in the pole vault competitions, showing 4.43 meters. "The record of the Games is 6712 points, but after a few shortcomings I realized that this year I will not be able to beat him, I will leave it for the next time." I left a little more strength to participate in other competitions, "he added.
 Well started at the Games and the Israeli national football team, which defeated Hong Kong with a score of 5: 0 and the national team of Southern California - 7: 0.
