Adnan Khankan (born 1 May 1994[1]) is a Syrian judoka. Originally from the Syrian capital Damascus, Khankan fled to Cologne, Germany, in 2015 in order to avoid conscription into Bashar al-Assad's army during the Syrian civil war.[2] He participated in the 2024 Summer Olympics as a member of the refugee team,[3] whom he cited as an inspiration upon seeing the first edition of the team at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[4] In the men's 100 kg judo event, Khankan lost to Daniel Eich of Switzerland.[5]
