Edelman OLY (Hebrew: אדם ג'רמי אדלמן; born March 14, 1991) is an American-born Israeli sliding sports athlete.

He is an eight-time Israeli National Champion in sliding sport (skeleton and Bobsleigh)[1] who competed for Israel at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

[6] He was raised in a Zionist, Modern Orthodox home by parents Cheryl (a lawyer) and Elazer Edelman (a biomedical engineer, physician, professor, and inventor).

His older brother is comedian Alex Edelman who helped found Off the Wall Comedy in Jerusalem.

[10] MIT President Rafael Reif's 2018 commencement address used Edelman's Olympic journey as a basis of his message to the graduating class.

[10] Edelman helped the MIT Engineers win two divisional championships[18] in the Northeast Collegiate Hockey Association (NECHA) Division II league.

[20] Edelman tried skeleton for the first time at the Olympic facilities in Lake Placid, NY in March 2014[15] where he was given an assessment that he would never be competitive.

Edelman strung together a season by bringing in new athletes in each race for the IBSF North American Circuit, ultimately winning Israels first ever sanctioned Bobsleigh podium.
