It looks like her visualization worked!! I still haven't watched her fights, you would barely know she won from NBC's coverage. I'm watching online now. Go Women's Judo, Bronze and Gold! (Again, you might not know this from NBC...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElizabethB Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I saw it earlier. It's a good match. :) I just finished, great match! She was in control the entire time, she barely looked tired. Maybe Gemma should have taken a break to tie her belt a bit earlier... In other entertaining Judo news, the bronze medalist from Colombia had to call the president back. "Sorry Mr. President, I'm busy!" How often do you get to say that to a President? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so sorry if I ruined it for anyone who hadn't watched it yet. :( In other entertaining Judo news, the bronze medalist from Colombia had to call the president back.

(And a minute or two, even better for the first American to win gold in Judo, really people.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know if there is still springboard diving and tower diving to come or if I missed that too...:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyKidAcademy Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 NBC did a daytime interview with her Thursday. She talked about her win, how the abuse she suffered at the hands of a coach affected her, and what she wants to do in the future (work with kids who've been abused). She seems like a neat, down to earth sort of person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
