    Go on Gem! local girl and used to see her around bexleyheath in our younger days

    Her semi-final is scheduled for 2:20pm (ish). She's taking on the world number two.

    If she doesn't manage to make the final, she will fight one of the repechage winners for bronze.

    Good luck to her, but have to say I've found judo the most boring sport I've seen in the Olympics so far, and difficult to follow

    are they not allowed to do up their coats properly after a ruck? the clothes just dont seem suitable for what they are trying to do?

    Was it judo that had all the controversy over the guy that got selected for Team GB over the world champion ?

    Fencing....now that is dull.....but if it was a Brit going for gold then I think I could force myself to watch it.

    It's easy. You have to throw your opponent to the ground & jump on top of them :-)
