    from the BBC website:

    Realising she had won and bursting into tears as she knelt on the matt, Gemma Gibbons looked to the sky and whispered: "I love you, mum." It was her mother Jeanette who first took her to a judo class when she was six-years-old. She passed away in 2004 from leukaemia.

    neither scored in the opening 3 miniutes so it goes to a golden point. as soon as you score your through.

    Shooting, i went on saturday. The men's 10m pistol qualifiers, my stepdaughter fell asleep and who could blame her. Dull.

    Shooting is on BBC 1 now. Brit looks like he is going to win gold but Christ it's boring.
