Usually, our athletic backwater is pretty calm but I missed this juicy tidbit:
Israel’s top windsurfer, considered to be a contender for a medal in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, has become embroiled in a scandal that could hurt her chances after it was revealed that she has been in an eight-month affair with the coach of the Israeli women’s team, who was fired over the relationship.Other windsurfers and their parents have now banded together, complaining to sporting authorities that 20-year-old Katy Spychakov’s romantic involvement with French coach Pierre Loquet, 37, had earned her preferential treatment, one-on-one training sessions and an unfair advantage in the race for the single spot representing Israel at the Olympics.
The "happy couple" in simpler times.

People are idiots sometimes. She's sort of excused because many of us were idiots at 20. He is definitely old enough to know better.
