Leah Goldstein (born February 4, 1969 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) is a professional Israeli road racing cyclist.
Born in Canada, Goldstein was raised in Israel when her family made aliyah. She spent 9 years in the Israeli commandos and secret police.[1] A natural athlete she won the 1989 World Bantamweight Kickboxing Championship, and was Israel's Duathlon champion.[2] However, during her cycling career she has had some bad luck. Shortly before the 2004 Olympics, she broke her hand in a race in Pennsylvania. And then in 2005, after winning 9 of her first 11 races she was involved in a horrific crash during the Cascade Classic that almost ended her career.
