Yarden Gerbi (or Jerbi,[2] Template:Lang-he; born July 8, 1989) is an Israeli retired judoka world champion. She won an Olympic bronze medal competing for Israel at the 2016 Summer Olympics, in Women's 63 kg Judo.[3]

Gerbi won the gold medal at the 2013 World Judo Championships in the -63 kg (139 lbs.) category.[4][5][6] She won the Israeli championship five times by the age of 24, and was a silver medalist in the 2009 Maccabiah Games.

Personal life

Gerbi was born in Kfar Saba, Israel, to a family of Sephardic Jewish (Tunisian-Jewish) descent from Djerba. She was raised and also currently resides in Netanya, Israel.[7][6][8][9] Her nicknames are Jordan, Gerb, and Denush.[1] She attended the Open University of Israel, studying Economics and Management.[1][10]

Judo career

Early career

Gerbi, who began practicing judo at age 6, trains with club Meditav Netanya.[6] Shani Hershko, former coach of the Israeli women's national judo team, has been her trainer since childhood.[6][11]

Gerbi twice won the Israeli judo championship. She won the silver medal in the 2012 European Judo Championships,[12] and bronze in the 2013 European Judo Championships.[13][6]

In 2007, she won the Israel Championships.[14]

In 2008, Gerbi won the Israel Championships and the Under-23 Israel Championships, and took third in the Under-20 category in the European Championships.[15]

In 2009, she won the Israel Championships and the Belo Horizonte World Cup, placed second in the 2009 Maccabiah Games, and took third place in the Qingdao Grand Prix.[15][16][17]

In 2010, she came in second in the Qingdao Grand Prix,[18] the Baku World Cup and the Birmingham World Cup, third in the Warsaw World Cup, and came in 7th place at the Tokyo World Championships.[15] In 2011, she won the Israeli Championships, came in second in the San Salvador World Cup and the Miami World Cup, third in the Moscow Grand Slam and the World Masters Baku, and fifth in the 2011 European Judo Championships.[15] However, she was eliminated in the second round of the 2011 world championship and did not qualify for Israel's 2012 Olympic team.[6]

In 2012, she won the Tashkent World Cup and the Israel Championships, took second in the 2012 European Judo Championships in Russia,[12] and took third in the Düsseldorf Grand Prix.[15][19][20]

In 2013, prior to the world championships she won the Baku Grand Slam[21] and the Moscow Grand Slam,[22] took second in the Samsun Grand Prix,[23] third in the Düsseldorf Grand Prix[24] and the 2013 European Judo Championships.[14][15] She achieved a world ranking of No. 1 in May 2013.[25][13]

2013 World Champion

In August 2013, at the age of 24, she won the gold medal at the 2013 World Judo Championships in Rio de Janeiro in the category -63 kg (139 lbs.), defeating each of her five opponents unconditionally.[4][5][6][26] She defeated No. 2-ranked Clarisse Agbegnenou of France, the European champion, in the final by dislocating her shoulder and rendering her unconscious with a chokehold in 43 seconds.[6][10][11][26][27] She recorded an ippon in each of her five fights on the way to the championship.[11][26] Commenting on the reaction from Israelis to her championship, she said: "I received three marriage proposals."[28]

Gerbi became the first Israeli to win a gold medal at the Judo World Championships.[27] Israelis Yael Arad (1991 – bronze, 1993 – silver), Oren Smadja (1995 – silver), and Ariel Ze’evi (2001 – silver) had each previously won a silver medal in the championships, and Alice Schlesinger had most recently won a bronze medal in 2009; also Olympic medals, which is Gerbi's next goal, have been won by Arad (Barcelona 1992 – silver), Smadja (Barcelona 1992 – bronze), and Ze’evi (Athens 2004 – bronze).[11][29]

She was voted Israeli Sports Personality of the Year in 2013 by the readers of The Jerusalem Post.[30]
