    International Judo Federation Competition History:  Jack Yonezuka IJF Profile

    Personal: Yonezuka comes from a long line of storied judoka as he follows in the footsteps of his father, 1980 Olympian Nick Yonezuka, and grandfather, two-time Olympic coach Yoshisada Yonezuka. The 2022 Senior National Champion has blazed his own trail, however, making history at the 2022 Junior World Championships where he became the first U.S. man to medal at the Junior Worlds in 30 years. In addition to winning Junior World bronze, Yonezuka also qualified as one of the youngest members of the 2022 Senior World Team and continues to establish himself as one to watch on the Road to the Paris and Los Angeles Olympic Games.
