Receiving Gold Medal in the 1968 Summer Paralympics

Ora Anlen (née Goldstein; Hebrew: אורה אנלין; 15 August 1944 – July 10, 2022) was an Israeli Paralympic champion.

Anlen was born in Kibbutz HaMa'apil. As a young baby she contracted polio and remained paralyzed in both lower limbs. In 1964 she began practicing sports at the Israel Sports Center for the Disabled and was active in swimming, athletics and wheelchair basketball.

In 1966 she participated for the first time in an international competition. She won 5 medals in the Stoke Mandeville Games that year, and in 1968 won 5 medals and gained a world record during the 1968 Summer Paralympics. Anlen continued to excel, winning seven medals in the 1971 Stoke Mandeville Games, 5 medals in the 1972 Summer Paralympics, and 4 medals in the 1976 Summer Paralympics. Over the years she won 14 Paralympic medals and held three world records.

Anlen was married since 1977 to Haim Anlen, a delegate to the 1976 Summer Paralympics.
