That's rich coming from a man who watches rounders 
My lad is a budding England Judo player so it was a no brainier.

So Chambers won the trial but has not achieved the qualifying time yet. Personally I think the UK athletics are right not to select a former drugs cheat as a policy. I don't understand, in order to keep Chambers out, why they didn't change their rules to say places are available at selectors discretion then just pick the top 2 in the trials as usual except for 100m.

I've always found the word "player" a strange one to use for someone who participates in Judo. It just doesn't seems to fit.

Why not "Judo Fighter" ?

[cdbearsfan]

Aren't they judo wrestlers?

[danlanza]

Judo is not wrestling it is a martial art,so i think it is judo fighter,I think.

[Jon Crofts]

Nope, you play judo therefore the combatants are players.

[N'Rexy]

Looking forward to ordering my favourite lunch of falafel with basmati and wild rice and multi- leaf salad from MacDonalds.  They don't have it in Barking.  Roll on the Olympics with healthy food options, that's what I say.

In the 1948 Olympics they awarded medals for architecture, literature, music, painting, and sculpture.
