Gafinovitz won the gold medal in the Israeli National Road Race Championships in 2015, and won the Israeli National Time Trial Championships in 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2023.[7]

In September 2016, Gafinovitz was announced as part of the WM3 Pro Cycling squad for 2017.[10]

Gafinovitz won the Tour of Arava in 2019.[7] That year she was also sixth in the GC Gracia–Orlová.[7] At the 2019 European Games in Minsk, Belarus, she came in 9th in the Women's road time trial, and at the 2022 European Road Championships in Munich, Germany, she came in 18th in the Women's time trial.

2024 Summer Olympics

[edit | edit source]

Gafinovitz represented Israel at the 2024 Paris Olympics in cycling in the Women's individual 158 kilometer road race.[12] She said:

The Olympic Games have been my dream since I was 17, and this ticket to it is the proof for me that even if it takes time, one has to go on and not give up. This is true in sports, and it is doubly true in the current struggle for the return of the abducted in Gaza.[13]

Gafinovitz cycled ahead of the pack for much of the early part of the race, but she was later caught by the peloton and fell to 77th place out of 93 riders where she finished, with a time of 4:13:42.[14]
