The Israeli Athletic Association (IAA; איגוד האתלטיקה הישראל), located at 10 Shitrit Street, Tel Aviv, Israel, is the governing body of athletics in Israel.[1][2][3] Doron Kofman is its President, and Jack Cohen is its General Secretary.[4]
History
It was founded in 1931, as the Federation for Amateur Sports in Palestine.[1] The State of Israel was formed in 1948, and Israel first participated in the Olympics in 1952.[1] In September 1989, Primo Nebiolo announced that the International Amateur Athletics Federation (IAAF) congress voted unanimously to make Israel a "temporary" member of the European Athletic Association.[5][6]
Israel's first track and field global medal was won by Aleksandr Averbukh, who won a silver medal in the pole vault at the 2001 World Championships in Athletics.[1] The IAA named Ethiopian-born distance runner Zohar Zimro its 2011 Athlete of the Year.[7]
