At the ceremony, the Olympic rings were stamped on his grave, an honor that the Finns give to their champions, but while the country's ambassador in Israel said that "this morning is one of the happiest days of my term", official Israel ignored. 75 שנה אחרי שנרצח בפעילות טרור ברצועת עזה, ערכה שגרירות פינלנד טקס מרגש לזכרו של הפיני-יהודי אליהו (אליאס) כץ - אלוף אולימפי ושיאן עולם לשעבר. בטקס הוטבעו הטבעות האולימפיות על קברו, כבוד שהפינים נותנים לאלופים שלהם, אולם בעוד שגרירת המדינה בישראל סיפרה ש"הבוקר הזה הוא אחד הימים המאושרים בקדנציה שלי", בישראל הרשמית התעלמו |
