Early and personal life

Sagiv is a native of Zichron Yaakov, Israel.[3] His father is Shemi Sagiv (at the time known as Sabag), who represented Israel as a marathon runner at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, studied medicine, and is now a chiropractor, and his mother Rachela is a special education consultant.[4][5][6][3] His father is his biggest inspiration.[7] For his bar mitzvah, his father took him to London to see the 2012 Summer Olympics; in later years, his father was his coach.[8]

His brother Shachar Sagiv, who is three years older than Ran, is also a triathlete Olympian, and came in 20th in triathlon in the Tokyo Olympics held in 2021.[9][6][10][11] Shachar said of him: "We encourage each other and we always support each other; we also fight, like all brothers."[5] His brother Shachar will represent Israel at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris in the Men's triathlon at Pont Alexandre III on 30 July 2024.[12]

His younger brother is named Tomer.[6][10]

He studied at the Open University, where he graduated with a BA in Political Science and International Relations, and served in the Israel Defense Forces 8th Army at the Wingate Institute as an "outstanding athlete".[13]
