Israeli Cyclist Adar Shariki in Stable Condition After Serious Accident in Girona

Incident Details

Adar Shariki, a prominent cyclist and the 2023 Israeli road cycling champion, is currently in stable condition after sustaining serious injuries in a traffic accident earlier this week. The incident occurred during her first training session in Girona, Spain, shortly after she claimed first place in the under-23 category at the Catalonia Championship.

Approximately thirty minutes into her training session, while turning left, a vehicle approached from behind and collided with Shariki, propelling her several meters away from the impact. She suffered extensive injuries, including fractures to her ribs, pelvis, and spine. Following the accident, Shariki was airlifted to a hospital in Girona while conscious.

Support and Assistance

In response to the situation, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi World Union have mobilized to provide immediate assistance, connecting the family with the Maccabi club in Spain and the Jewish community there. This support aims to facilitate aid for Shariki’s family during this challenging time.

Ongoing Treatment

For now, physicians in Girona have recommended that Shariki remain in Spain for ongoing treatments. Her condition has now stabilized, and she is no longer in life-threatening danger, which offers hope for her recovery as she navigates this difficult phase.

As supporters and communities rally around her, updates on her recovery will be keenly anticipated by fans and fellow athletes alike
