In the Table Tennis final round for ages 13-14, Matthew Ioffe from Benson, Arizona, defeated Miles Isaacs of Great Britain to win the gold medal. It was a hard fought game, but ultimately, Ioffe came out on top.

When he was asked about his Maccabi experience, he said, “The host family is great. They don’t seem to have any problems with each other or argue with anybody.”

Ioffe is 13 years old and has been playing table tennis for about seven years, and it certainly showed.
