MILAN: The Israeli bobsled team have had “thousands of dollars” of personal items and passports stolen from their apartment during training for the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, according to a team member.

“While training for the Olympics the @israelbobsled apartment was broken into during their training, thousands of dollars of stuff and passports were stolen. What a season...,” AJ Edelman wrote on X.

It was not immediately clear which country the apartment was in, though Italian media said it was not Italy.

A map that appears to be of Prague can be seen in the room in a photograph posted by Edelman.

“Such a gross violation — suitcases, shoes, equipment, passports stolen, and the boys headed right back to training today,” Eldelman wrote.
