Career

Junior

In late 2024, Shved was called up to enter the new Israeli junior group under the guidance of Julieta Cantaluppi and Linoy Ashram.[2][3][4]

In March 2025, the group made its international debut at the Sofia International Tournament, winning gold with 5 pairs of clubs as well as silver in the all-around and with 5 hoops.[5][6] In May, competing at the European Cup in Baku, she won bronze in the all-around and silver with 5 hoops.[7][8][9] Two weeks later, the group took all three silver medals at the European Cup stage in Burgas.[10][11]

A month later, Shved was selected for the European Championships in Tallinn along with her teammates Melani Malka, Keren Sobol, Emilia Roitman and Sofia Prezhyn. They placed 4th overall, and in the finals, they won bronze with 5 hoops and silver with 10 clubs.[12][13][14][15]

In June, Shved was supposed to take part in the Junior World Championships in Sofia, but their participation was cancelled due to the Twelve-Day War.[16][17][18] In late December, it was announced that she was to join the senior group.[19][20][21]

Senior

Shved became age-eligible for senior competitions in 2026. She made her debut at the World Cup in Sofia, where she and her group members were 12th in the all-around, 7th with 5 balls and 16th with 3 hoops & 4 clubs.[22][23][24][25][26] In Baku the group won gold in the All-Around and with 5 balls.[27][28] On May 1-3, the group competed at European Cup in Baku, and won gold medal in 5 Balls. They lost against Bulgarian team in Cross battles and won silver medal. On May 16-17 the group competed at the World Challenge Cup in Portimão and won two bronze medals: in the all-around competition, and in the 5 balls final. In the end of May, at the 2026 European Championships in Varna, Shved won three bronze medals with the Israeli Senior Group: in the group all-around, in the 5 balls final, and in the hoops and clubs final. She also won a silver medal in the team competition with the senior group and with Israeli individual gymnasts Daniela Munits and Alona Tal-Franco.[29][30]
