Judo gold medallist 2024?

I hope I’m not becoming one of those dads…

I was really happy to get home from Gran Canaria (more to follow next week on the trip) in time to see Thomas compete in his first Judo competition in the local club. It was great to see the concentration on his face during the bouts, followed by the big smile & thumbs up when he did something he was proud of.

Of course, Anne, Paul and myself were cheering on from the sidelines with all the other parents. It didn’t feel like we were being the over-bearing parents who want their child to win at any price, but I was really happy & proud when Thomas did a really nice wasari on a young girl in his weight class.

    It’s Waza-ari, and it’s a score, not a move 🙂

    OK – s/did a really nice wasari/scored a really nice waza-ari/ – how’s that?

    I’m a dad fan after all, not a Judo player.

    Dave.
