The British Olympic Association (BOA) announced the 14 athletes that will represent Team GB in the men’s and women’s judo events at the London 2012 Olympic Games, yesterday.
Winston Gordon (35; born and lives Tooting) got the men’s -90kg berth for his third successive games.
I sometimes feel like I go on and on about this, but I am awed by the physical (injuries and rivals) plus the political (last August, Margaret Hicks his original mentor, was sacked as the BJA's elite performance director) obstacles he has overcome with this achievement.
90kg Men Olympic Judo - Wed, 1 August.
