Gymnast is Named Israel's "Male Athlete of the Year"

I love it when I can honor the name of this blog in a way that isn't completely contrived so thank you Alexander Shatilov for making my blogging life easy. Shatilov, Israel's first world medalist in gymnastics (bronze on floor exercise at the 2009 Worlds in London) won the Male Athlete of the Year award. This is the first time the prize was given to a gymnast.

Shatilov should also win the "Tallest Gymnast of the Year" Award and "Tallest Jewish Gymnast Ever" Award. He's 6'1" people.
