X Warsaw Judo Open, Warsaw, Poland

One member of the Moberly Judo Club participated in the 10^th Warsaw Judo Open. This is one of the year's premier competitions for boys in Eastern Europe. The competition had four age bands: U13, U15, U17 and U20. This was the first year that there was an U13 age band. John Jayne entered at -39 kg in the U13 age band and and at -38 kg in the U15 age band. He won Gold in both categories, winning all of his matches by ippon. In each of the two age bands he had a bye in the first round followed by four matches. This was an improvement on last year when John lost in the first round in the U15 band to a boy that did not reach the semifinal. In one of the finals John threw the Bronze Medalist from his category last year for ippon.

There were eleven countries represented: Belgium, England, Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Russia and the Ukraine. The level of Judo was very high.
