Personal life
[edit]Born Avigail Alfatov (Hebrew: אביגיל אלפטוב) in Acre, Israel, to Ukrainian-Jewish (of Ashkenazi Jewish descent) immigrant parents.[2] Alfatov's father is a graphic designer, and her mother is a teacher.[2] Both her parents were born in Soviet Ukraine and immigrated to Israel, in order to escape antisemitism in the former USSR.[2]
She graduated magna cum laude from high school.[2] In her spare time, she volunteers for AKIM, an Israeli organization that works to help people suffering from intellectual disabilities.
She married her Israeli boyfriend Yossi Boblile in August 2017.[3][4] They have a son named Ariel Boblile who was born in 2018,[5] and another son named Dor Boblile who was born in 2020.[6] Both her sons had a bris.[7][5]
Fencing
[edit]Alfatov began fencing in fourth grade, and is Israel's national youth fencing champion.[8] She devotes four hours a day to fencing practice.[8] She says: "I've taken part in a lot of fencing competitions around the world and I was already the past champion of Israel many times. My dream is to get to the Olympics and win."[9] She hopes that modelling will help her to support her fencing career financially, as Israel will only pay for the first year of training to qualify for the 2020 Olympics.[9][2]
