A Swiss commentator exposed a member of the Israeli bobsled team supporting the genocide during a live broadcast.
Stefan Renna, a commentator for Swiss Radio and Television (RTS), stated that Adam Edelman, who races in the Milano Cortina 2026 Games, identified himself as a Zionist and made numerous social media posts supporting the genocide carried out by Israel in Gaza.
Renna drew attention to the term "genocide" used by the United Nations International Commission of Inquiry regarding Gaza, saying: "I am familiar with this terminology. Edelman described Israel's military intervention as the most moral and just war in history."
The Swiss sports commentator also emphasized that Israel is under suspicion of genocide and that its participation in the organizations is concerning, recalling that even Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych was banned from wearing a helmet featuring photos of those who died in the war in his country.
