wow, a girl gets sexually abused by her coach and comes back from it to win an olympic gold medal
got a feeling that will be turned into a hollywood film at some point amazing, it's the story of the games, sport doesn't get any more inspirational than that |

will be a while yet, they have to do the repechage matches first
karina has little chance of beating the japanese but could still get a bronze riner set to complete the set |

when the british girl fought for a place in the final before she lot but now has a chance to fight for bronze, but she fights someone who won one of those repacharge things......so how does that work? would she not fight the loser of the other semi??
|
|
By:
It gives both semi-finalists a chance of bronze.
|
|
By:
cheers, so the other semi is called the repacharge

the losing quarter finalists fight 2 repechage fights the winners then fight the two losing semi finalists for bronze brilliant bronze for Bryant, just reward for long service to British judo 12 years you wait for a medal then 2 come along together ![]() |

"+100kg: This is all about the legend that is TEDDY RINER...Faster , stronger and better than everyone he is a virtual certainty and to me is the most certain Gold Medal winner in the entire Olympic Games. No joke, he can't be beat.
-57kg:Japanese girl is different class, she's a 1.2 shot in my mind for gold medal." Those were the two comments I took away from your original post judorick - spot on! |
