Joel Nathan will be bursting with pride when he walks out at Jerusalem's Teddy Stadium tonight for the Opening Ceremony at the 20th Maccabiah Games.

Bernard Davidson, Brian Green and Jack Mattey have the honour of being named as Team Maccabi's Great Britain flagbearers.

But Nathan, part of the delegation of 385 athletes, managers and coaches, admits it will be his highlight of the Jewish Olympic Games.

The Team GB general manager said: "The events are special when you give your all against rival teams, trying to ensure Maccabi Great Britain's name is at the forefront.

"But at the Opening Ceremony we are as one. 

"Every Jewish athlete  coming together to celebrate this brilliant event.

"It will be one of my highlights for sure. We are at the third biggest sporting event in the world. You can't forget that.

"There's been a lot of hard work involved behind the scenes.

"So walking into that stadium will be spine tingling.

"I will feel great pride in walking behind Bernie, Brian and Jack who represent everything that Maccabi GB stand for."
