Life edit
Mizrahi was born with albinism and suffers from visual impairment.[1] She was raised in Holon and completed higher studies in physical education.[2]
Mirzahi began playing goalball at age 12 and joined the Israel women's national goalball team.[1]
Prior to the 2014 Goalball World Championships Mizrahi was examined and classified with improved eyesight, causing her to be disqualified from competitions and to retire from the national team. This decision was overturned in 2019 after further medical examinations and she took part in the 2019 IBSA World Games and Goalball European Championships, qualifying the team to take part in the 2020 Summer Paralympics.[2]
