⚡️🇮🇱🇨🇭 NEW - While Israel’s bobsleigh team was racing, the Swiss commentator reminded viewers of war crimes the pilot has supported.
“Adam Edelman who self-defines as a Zionist…posted several messages on social media in favor of genocide in Gaza”
Commentator Stefan Renna on Swiss public broadcaster RTS sparked controversy during Israeli captain AJ Edelman’s second bobsleigh run at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, bringing up Edelman’s past social media posts supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, including one calling it “the most morally just war in history.”
He compared the situation to the IOC’s restrictions on Russian and Belarusian athletes, and asked why similar neutrality standards were not being applied to Israel.
Israel’s bobsleigh team, “Shul Runnings,” finished 26th out of 26 sleds, recording the slowest start and finish times in both heats, according to official results. Despite the ranking, pilot AJ Edelman stated, "We are victors, not victims.” Edelman holds dual Israeli and U.S. citizenship.
