Life According to Melissa S.

excellence can be attained
if you dream more than others think is practical;
expect more than others think is possible.

I'd just finished watching the Men & Women Judo Extra Light Weight Category for the Beijing Olympics 2008. 2 unexpected champions were crowned - South Korea's Chio Minho & Romania's Alina Dumitru. However, not all matches were awesome.

The Women matches were a real disappointment. Ryoko Tani (formerly known as Ryoko Tamura) only got a Bronze when the Gold was within reach! The semi-finals of her and Romania's Alina Dumitru was really frustrating. Both of them were so defensive in their playing and in the end, it cost Tani her Gold.

Men are always men - aggressive in their playing style but it makes the matches more exciting to watch!

The finals more the Men -60kg was indeed the match of the day.

The te-guruma (leg-grab pick-up) by South Korea's Chio Minho (2nd from left) which scored an Ippon, was super brilliant! Despite loosing to Chio, opponent Ludwig Paischer from Austria (far left) is so full of sportsmanship and charming!!!! Well, Pasischer was helping the sobbing Chio from the mats to bow out after his win! Cool right?!

I'm so going to keep a look out for this Austrian in the future Judo matches! hehehehe! =)
