context_page_description: This list of Jewish athletes in sports contains athletes who are Jewish and have attained outstanding achievements in sports. The criteria for inclusion in this list are:
  1–3 places winners at major international tournaments;
  for team sports, winning in preliminary competitions of finals at major international tournaments, or playing for several seasons for clubs of major national leagues; or
  holders of past and current world records.
  Boldface denotes a current competitor.
  To be included in the list, one does not necessarily have to practice Judaism. Some members of the list may practice other religions or no religion at all, but are of Jewish ancestry.
  The topic of Jewish participation in sports is discussed extensively in academic and popular literature. Scholars believe that sports have been a historical avenue for Jewish people to overcome obstacles toward their participation in secular society.
