Israeli Swimmer Anastasia Gorbenko Booed at World Swim Championships

Israeli Anastasia Gorbenko shrugged off boos from the crowd at the world swimming championships in Doha on Sunday.

Gorbenko took silver in the 400m freestyle but the crowd in Qatar whistled when she went up to collect her medal, and before in the post-race poolside interview.

“It’s not the first time, I’ve been here a week,” she commented.

“I’ve heard all these noises but I’m with ear plugs, I’m in my zone.
