'''Eric Hänni''' (19 December 1938 – 25 December 2024) was a Swiss [[judoka]] who competed between 1959 and 1974. In 1964 he won an Olympic silver medal and a European bronze medal in the lightweight category.<ref name=sr/><ref name=r1/> During his career Hänni won seven individual national titles (1959, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1969–71) and took part in twelve [[European Judo Championships|European]] and three [[World Judo Championships|World Championships]].<ref name=r3/><br />
<br />
Hänni's parents divorced before he was ten, and Hänni lived with his uncle in Bern. He then moved to [[Canton of Jura]] where he worked as a mechanic. Besides competing in judo, he also acted as a referee, at the national (since 1965), European (since 1974) and world level (since 1985). In 1966 he started coaching judo, first in Zurich and between 1967 and 1972 at ''Nippon Bern''.<ref name=r2/> In 1972 he opened his own judo club in his native Delémont, which he ran until 1995. In parallel, he trained the national junior and senior teams and acted as vice-president of the Swiss Judo Association. In 2014, he became the first Swiss judoka to receive an honorary 9th dan.<br />
<br />
Hänni was married with two children. He was a fan of motorcycle racing, in which he competed at the national level.<ref name=r3/> Hänni died on 25 December 2024, at the age of 86.<ref>[https://www.ticinonews.ch/sport/addio-a-eric-hanni-medaglia-dargento-nel-judo-alle-olimpiadi-del-1964-405651 Addio a Eric Hänni, medaglia d’argento nel judo alle Olimpiadi del 1964] {{in lang|it}}</ref><br />
