Travis Stevens (born February 28, 1986) is an American judoka who competed in the 2008, 2012, and 2016 Summer Olympics.[5] He competes in the men's half-middleweight (−81 kg) division. On August 9, 2016, Stevens became the third American male judoka to win a silver medal in the Olympics.
At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he again lost to 2008 gold medalist Ole Bischof, this time in the semi-finals by judges' decision. Stevens was then beaten in the bronze medal match by Canada's Antoine Valois-Fortier.[5][8]
