Ariel "Arik" Ze'evi ((ヘブライ語:אריאל "אריק" זאבי), born 16 January 1977 in Bnei Brak) is an Israeli judoka, widely recognized as the country's most prominent judoka since the 1990s to date. Ze'evi, a dan 6 black belt in Judo, has had a long and successful career competing in half-heavyweight Judo competitions. He is an Olympic bronze medal finalist in the 2004 Summer Olympics Judo 100 kg class in Athens. His current coach is Alex Ahskenazy. ==Biography== Ze'evi is Jewish, and was born and raised in Bnei Brak, a predominantly orthodox Jewish city in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. While growing up, he trained in the local Judo club in his neighborhood, together with his older brother, Roni, who was also the club's first local gold medal pioneer after having finished first in the national Israeli Judo Championships. Ze'evi, heavily influenced by his brother and his accomplishment, began training intensively, and at the age of 14 won his first national competition in the adult class, becoming the country's youngest champion ever. Despite the lack of advanced training facilities, Ze'evi continued training in his local club and steadily closed the gap to world class level, and began competing abroad. In his personal life, Ze'evi obtained a LLB degree from the Interdisciplinary Center college, in Herzliya. He also hosted a sports television show for the Israeli Broadcasting Authority. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ariel Ze'evi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
