Misha Zilberman: A Promising Badminton Star from Israel
Misha Zilberman, born on January 30, 1989, is a prominent male badminton player from Israel. Born in Moscow, Misha was introduced to the sport of badminton at the young age of 12. According to officials from the Israel Badminton Association, Misha’s parents immigrated to Israel in 1991 and also serve as his coaches. He has been fortunate to rely on his parents, as the association’s limited funding cannot cover the cost of a professional badminton coach.
In 2012, Misha Zilberman represented Israel in the badminton singles event at the Olympic Games in London, United Kingdom. Unfortunately, he lost both of his group stage matches, 0-2 against Denmark’s Jan O. Jorgensen and Singapore’s Huang Zi Liang, resulting in an early exit from the competition.
