Friday September 9:


womens:
Under 63kg


As ever this is an open category although Olympic champion Ayumi Tanimoto reigned supreme a year ago. She won every fight convincingly but that was partly helped by an injury to world champion Daniella Krukower of Argentina who crashed out with an elbow problem and a surprise early defeat for Cuba

Well, Bryant (women's +78k GB) just can't seem to ever rise to the Gold. I enjoy her style, too bad.

Suzuki is apparently the new Japanese Judo dude. Cool....

Fuji TV in Japan only showed the Japanese matches, so didn't see Bryant fight in the final...

Watched all Suzuki's matches. Interesting how he got stronger and more aggressive as the tournament went on. Yep, he's #1 no doubt about it.

I especially like the this khabarelli by Mikhalin to win the +100kg final http://www.arajudo.com/CAIRO2005/1.wmv

Yeah, Fallon was picked for a medal in Athens, but had a disappointing games.
He cruised past the Japanese fighter on his way to gold.
Shame about Bryant(again).
