Ninja Nevo Beck: a European champion and proud ambassador of Israel at Heart
From Beijing to Pilsen, Israeli ninja athlete Nevo Beck won silver at the World Obstacle Championship in China and, a month later, the title of European Ninja Champion in the Czech Republic. Israel at Heart has backed him every step of the way.
From Beijing to Pilsen, Israeli ninja athlete Nevo Beck is taking the world by storm. Excelling on two continents in just two months, Nevo’s story is about more than medals and podiums. It is also about the people who make Israel special, and why they are at the very heart of Israel at Heart.
Israel’s greatest asset is its people.
Silver in Beijing
In September 2026, Nevo competed with Team Israel at the UIPM Obstacle World Championships in China, joining athletes from around the world in one of the sport’s major international competitions. The Israeli team delivered an outstanding performance, winning a silver medal and showing everything that makes sport powerful: determination, teamwork, discipline and spirit. Against elite competitors from the United States, Germany, Canada, China and the Philippines, Nevo refused to be intimidated by the odds. He was the only Israeli athlete to qualify for the 400-meter category, which placed an enormous responsibility on his shoulders.
European champion in Pilsen
A month later, Nevo’s talent reached new heights. In October 2026, he competed in the Czech Republic against hundreds of athletes from 20 countries at Europe’s official continental championship, and claimed a remarkable victory for both himself and Israel, winning the title of European Ninja Champion.
The people at the heart of it
Israel at Heart has been proud to support Nevo and cheer him on every step of the way. But his relationship with the organization represents something bigger than support for an individual athlete. At Israel at Heart, we believe that Israel’s greatest asset is its people, Israelis who make things happen, overcome challenges, pursue their dreams and contribute to the world around them. The best way to show Israel to the world is to let the world meet Israelis, one person, one story and one achievement at a time.
From Beijing to Pilsen, ninja Nevo Beck is showing the world what Israel is all about, a country of extraordinary people.
