Goole open 2010
Yesterday was the annual Goole open, run by the Goole Judo club. I went as a competitor this time in the hope I'd pick up some points. That wasn't to happen (no other 2nd dans in my group).
Only two other guys for me to fight. After we had all fought each other we each had one win and one loss per person, all by ippon with no other scores. How to decide who gets the medals?
Simple - rematch!
One chap had to pull out after he was hurt the first time round so it was down to me and the chap I beat before to decide gold and silver. All the attacks were mine, he was defending all the time. It was just a matter of time before I threw him. Then I lost concentration for just a second and bang....thrown for ippon :(
Silver it is then!
