Hebrew usually omits the vowels that make English spelling feel obvious. Add the competing conventions used by clubs, leagues and international bodies, and one athlete can acquire several Latin-script identities.
Israel Sports Pulse resolves that problem with a hierarchy: the athlete’s own professional usage first, then current club and competition records, then national-federation records. Once verified, the spelling enters a shared namebook used by every automated draft.
That is why this publication uses Oscar Gloukh. The point is not to claim that another transliteration is linguistically impossible; it is to make the professional identity consistent, searchable and respectful.
