London 2012: Gemma Gibbons proudly shows off silver medal

London 2012: Gemma Gibbons proudly shows off her silver medal, which is Great Britain's first medal for Judo in 12 years!

She is the face of British Judo - the only British Judo Champion. The hard fact is the Brits are no good a Judo - the men strut around like peacocks with big muscles and rubbish technique. Forget the gimmicks and go back to the beginning. Endless repetition, endless training, running, randori randori randori, lots of newaza, cafeful diet, every direction attacking techniques, Import a coach from Korea or Japan - an old school coach. Forget the bouncy balls and gimmiky rubbish.

I don't know what's a bigger achievement - winning a silver medal at the Olympics, or proving that female Judo athletes can also be attractive!

A "Well done" or "Congratulations" to Gemma seems more appropriate. Why not write a letter to the Times newspaper?

[@JoachimderZweite]

You were so great and you are a great champion. Now start training the men.
