Anat Lelior
Israeli surfer
Anat Lelior (Hebrew: ענת ליליאור; born April 29, 2000) is an Israeli Olympic surfer. She represented Israel at the 2020 Summer Olympics, and finished 17th in the shortboard. Lelior represented Israel at the 2024 Paris Olympics in surfing in Women's shortboard, in Teahupo'o reef pass, Tahiti, French Polynesia, and came in ninth.
Early life
Lelior was born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel, and is Jewish. Her mother is painter and art teacher Eti Jacobi, and her father is Yochai Lelior, who owns a company that provides guidance and rescue services for travelers, such as those who become stuck climbing on a mountain. She has a brother Ido, who is a medic in the Israeli Defense Forces, and a sister.
Her sister Noa Lelior, two years younger than she is, is a professional surfer as well, who in 2015 decided to take the family to a surfing competition in France instead of having her bat mitzvah party - this in turn led her older sister Anat to see a bigger stage in surfing. The sisters both attended Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasium in Tel Aviv. Referring to surfing, Anat said: "Some people don't know what their purpose in life is, Noa and I know." Anat served as a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces for two years; in Israel, military service is mandatory at 18 years of age. She and her family all live in the same apartment in Tel Aviv, between the Carmel Market and the beach.

Why this record matters
The phrase “israeli surfer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q67319154. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2000, 2020, 2024 and 2015.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
