CORRECTS NAME TO ARTEM DOLGOPYAT - Artem Dolgopyat, Israeli artistic gymnastics men's gold medalist of Tokyo 2020, stands with his partner Maria Masha Sakovichas, while holding his medal on his arrival to Ben Gurion Airport, near Tel Aviv, Israel, Tuesday Aug. 3, 2021. The Ukrainian-born Israeli gymnast was hailed as a national hero for winning Israel's second-ever gold medal — and its first in artistic gymnastics. But the celebrations were tempered after his mother lamented that the country's authorities will not allow him to wed because he is not considered Jewish according to Orthodox law.
