The victory by Korzits, 27, in Sunday’s race in Australia was her second in the country; she also won there in 2003.
"You have proven your considerable talent. I expect to see you at the London Olympics," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office was quoted as telling Korzits in a congratulatory phone call, referring to next year’s Games.
