Hendrik "Henk" Numan (13 June 1955 – 26 April 2018) was a judoka from the Netherlands, who won a bronze medal in half-heavyweight division (Template:Nbnd95 kg) at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. His only loss at that tournament was against the later champion Robert Van De Walle from Belgium.[1] A year earlier, Numan won a bronze medal at the 1979 World Judo Championships.[2] In 1992, he also competed in Japanese professional wrestling for Fighting Network RINGS as a part of Chris Dolman's team.
Numan died at the age of 62 on 26 April 2018. No cause of death was publicly released.[3][4] However, in an interview with Dutch wrestling coach Bert Kops jr., published a few weeks later, it was revealed that Numan had committed suicide.[5]
