Congratulations
JUDO is a cruel mistress and last night the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games sent us a reminder, as Australia's Aoife Coughlan lost the gold medal match by HSK (penalties) to England's Kelly Petersen-Pollard. Judo won, however, with Aoife's unshakeable sportsmanship showing why she is one of the sport's finest ambassadors.
