Ze Rak Sport (Hebrew script: זה רק ספורט, English translation: "It's Just Sport") was the Israeli entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1992, performed in Hebrew by Dafna Dekel.
The song is a moderately up-tempo number, with Dekel comparing the ritual of courtship with sport. She sings that the girl, at least, needs to bear this in mind and thus "She won't cry, she won't declare this her day of death". The trick, it seems, is to remember that it's all in fun all the time.
The song was performed third on the night (following Belgium's Morgane with Nous On Veut Des Violons and preceding Turkey's Aylin Vatankoş with Yaz Bitti). At the close of voting, it had received 85 points, placing 6th in a field of 23.
It was succeeded as Israeli representative at the 1993 Contest by Sarah'le Sharon & The Shiru Group with Shiru.
