The British Judo Open competition was held in London on 15th and 16 May 2010 and Great Britain had some very good results.
The Men’s Results
- Under 60kg: Ashley Mckenzie won gold, Nathon Burns silver and James Millar bronze.
- Under 66kg: Colin Oates won bronze.
- Under 73kg: Jan Gosiewski came in 7th place
- Under 90kg: Andrew Burns, Michael Horley and Sam Ingram finished joint 5th, and 7th place.
- Under 100kg: James Austin came 5th.
- Over 100kg: Chris Sherrington won bronze and Zviad Tsiklauri came 5th.
The Women’s Results
- Under 52kg: Siobhan O’Neill won bronze and Kimerley Renicks came joint 7th
- Under 57kg: Connie Ramsay came 5th
- Under 63kg: Gemma Howell won gold and Faith Pitman came 5th
- Under 70kg: Sally Conway won bronze, Megan Fletcher came 5th and Gemma Gibbons 7th
- Over 78kg: Sarah Adlington won gold, Shelly Jackson cam 7th.
There are certainly some good contenders here for London 2012. The under 60kg men are strong in Europe but may struggle when they meet the Japanese who always dominate. The big Chris Sherrington is looking good for a heavyweight podium though and Sarah Adlington is looking strong for a women’s medal.
