So it totally made it to Yahoo News which made my heart leap and I thought I would repost it here. Some of you know how much judo has been a part of my life and some know how hard it is to be a woman in a male dominated sport. This woman is more than a role model, icon, or celebrity to me.. I dont know if there is a word to describe how important she is to women, judoka, Japan.... Anyway, read the article if you have time. You`ll see why she is so cool.
Cheers!
