Krayzelburg Heads to Maccabiah Games in Israel

Jul 10, 2001

USA Swimming's triple Olympic gold medalist Lenny Krayzelburg heads to Israel today to participate in the Maccabiah Games. The tension and violence in the region deterred many U.S. competitors from attending, but Krayzelburg ignored his fears and decided to attend. He will be the biggest name among the 300+ U.S. delegation. After the Games, Krayzelburg will vacation in Russia, visiting friends and family he knows from growing up in the Ukraine. Upon returning to the U.S., he will undergo arthroscopic surgery on July 31 to repair a tear in his left shoulder with rehab expected to last 8-12 weeks.
