Gemma Gibbons Judo Player - Born in Charlton

Gemma Gibbons is in the semi finals of the under 78kg division. Is she beats the french gilrl at 2.20pm today she will fight for the gold.

 

YesSSS

Through to the final.

Don't mess with south east london.

 

That was good. When is the final Typical?

 

the Final is at 4pm.

I had a tear in my eye when she mouthed to the heavens " I love you mum"

 

From a Charlton supporting family....

 

I watched her fight in the earlier round in the day against the girl from the Netherlands. Just when Gemma looked completely drained of any further energy with the scores level, she slammed her opponent down to take the points, 6 seconds from the end. Which then set her up to take on and beat the 2011 World Champ in the semi's. I hope our world ranked number 33 takes a surprise Gold.

 

She is sooooo south london wearing her pyjamas during the day....

only kidding. Go on mate

 

Olympic Silver - and put up one hell of fight.
