Tournament

I took part in my first judo tournament today. We got up before 8, and Papa took me to the Tseung Kwan O Sports Centre, where it took place. I weighed in and was placed in the A-23 group (meaning under 23kg). After that, it was very boring, and I spent most of my time waiting for my event. Then I got to go on the big mat. I rushed at my opponent, and fought him for the whole 2-minute duration.

The judges declared my opponent the winner. My friend Danelle also lost out in the first round, which was also the semi-final, so she and I shared third place. My teacher, Sensei Ho, was officiating, and he game us our prize medals.
