That Golden Moment - Dror Cohen

Dror Cohen skippered the Israeli Sonar Team to gold in Athens 2004.

Along with Arnon Efrati and Benni Vexler, the Israeli crew won the gold medal by a clear nine points from silver medallists, the Netherlands.
 
Cohen explained the gold as, “the best week of my life in my sport achievements.”
 
He added, “It was amazing to fulfil my dream.”
 
Athens 2004 gold is the only Paralympic medal Cohen currently holds, but as one of the more established teams in the Sonar fleet at Rio 2016, Cohen will be looking to add to his solitary medal when he sails with fellow gold medallist Efrati and Shimon Ben Yakov.

The Rio 2016 Paralympic Games will take place between 7-18 September in Rio de Janeiro and the sailing is scheduled to be raced between 12-17 September in Guanabara Bay.
