Edelman, who is competing in both two-man and four-man bobsleigh, was taking part in the former when Renna made controversial remarks. The Israeli athlete described the commentary as a "diatribe" after Renna allegedly called him a "genocide-supporting Zionist" and questioned the IOC's decision to allow his participation.
The incident occurred during live coverage of the competition, with Edelman becoming aware of the remarks after the race. The athlete has not yet issued an official statement regarding the comments made by the TV commentator.
