I did Judo when I was 16/17, the best lesson I learned was how to land properly to reduce the damage. I guess the science of it would be to every actin there is an equal and opposite reaction. I probably slapped the floors harder than I ever slapped a person!

Our instructor had been a member of the British Olympic team in 1976 or 1980, I forget his name.

Its harder than it looks.


Son did it

Was he Alan Petherbridge or Bobby Sullivan?

After a while you get so toughened to hitting the mat, you often don't bother with breakfalls you just roll out of the throws.

You are correct, it's a very tough sport. One mistake and it's all over


Peth was at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and Bobby was at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

Everyday above ground ... Is a good day! 😎

True also Peth was an instructor but I can't remember Bob being one.

Dubious decision in the shooting denying Amber Rutter a potential Gold.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

She clearly hit the target.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Yep.

Why shooting of all disciplines doesn't have a video check considering how fast the targets move is beyond belief.

I can't think of any other Welshman who went to the Olympics. Anyone can take a Judo session, there was no formal qualification to be an instructor, usually the highest grade does it or whoever is appointed by the club

I knew Bob and Gaynor very well and at the time in question and he was doing very little Judo as he was either travelling with his wife or in the Valbone working for BG. I really don't think he did any coaching, possibly he popped with Peth, but that's as far as it would have gone.

Just like in the BMX, we've dominated the heats in Kayak Cross and not claimed Gold.

Fine margins so far in this Olympics.

Startlingly mature in the post race interview reassuring a team mate ten years older.

She's probably got another 2/3 Olympics in her. Laura Kenny's records may be under threat.

She hasn’t a Carmarthen accent and her roots are “ interesting”
IMO,she has greatness in her and I don’t say that lightly
She looks like she is confortable at the highest level.
Look at her body language
She knows she’s exceptional and this is her stage
All great sports people see performing at the highest level as what they are about .

There’s many from that part of west wales who have indecipherable dialects, more English than Welsh. Pembrokeshire either an Irish/Welsh lilt or just plain English.

A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.
