Nacif Elias (Arabic: ناصيف إلياس; born 29 September 1988) is a Brazilian-born Lebanese judoka.
Career
[edit]Elias competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in the 81 kg event, in which he was eliminated in the second round, in his first match, by Emmanuel Lucenti.[1] He was the flagbearer for Lebanon during the opening ceremonies of the 2014 Asian Games[2] and 2016 Olympics.[3]
Personal life
[edit]Elias was born in Brazil, but his great-grandfather was Lebanese. In 2013 he changed nationality to represent Lebanon, while staying in Brazil. In order to compete for Lebanon, Elias had been invited to become a Lebanese citizen. "It was a tough call," he said, but the offer he received from the Lebanese Judo Federation made it hard to refuse.[4] "Lebanon offered to pay me to enter eight competitions per year, whereas the Brazilian national team would pay for three or four at most," he said.[4]
Elias is married and has one son.[2]
