Then, the most notable achievement was by Yoav Ra'anan, who took ninth place in springboard diving. Over the next four decades, participating was the main objective. The darkest hour of the Olympics was in 1972, when eleven members of the Israeli delegation were murdered by Palestinian terrorists in Munich. The Games resumed after a 24-hour hiatus, but the surviving members of the Israeli delegation accompanied their fellow sportsmen on their final journey home. Despite the tragedy in Munich, Israel remained loyal to the Olympic ideal, and returned to the 1976 Games in Montreal, where Esther Roth-Shachamarov, whose coach Amitsur Shapira had been slain in Munich, clinched an historic sixth place in the 100 meters hurdles the best Israeli Olympic track result to date. As more years passed, the belief that an Israeli athlete could win an Olympic medal became credible. In Seoul in 1988, Israel's Flying Dutchmen crew, Yoel Sela and Eldad Amir, achieved a laudable fourth place finish, despite forfeiting a race held on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
