What is your sporting ambition?
Aside from winning an Olympic medal, I would like to continue improving and most importantly enjoying judo until I can no longer physically continue to train and compete.
What was your inspiration to take up your sport?
My brother took up judo and being naturally competitive I followed in his footsteps.
What are your interests outside of sport?
Watching all forms of sports, poker and internet games.
In your mind, what's the most memorable moment of past Olympics/Paralympics?
Usain Bolt winning the 100m and celebrating before the end!
What three words best describe you?
Competitive. Determined. Self-confident.
Who should light the flame for London 2012?
Ben Ashworth (British Judo Association physio).
If you were a character from a film, who would you be and why?
Dr Emmett Brown from Back to the Future because I always seem to think I am full of bright ideas that end up going wrong!
