Judo Team

Judo at Tournament is divided into three classes, open kyu, restricted kyu, and a special event for women that is being held for the first time. The open kyu is for judoka (those that practise judo to you) of all grades and the Victoria team just hasn't anybody of a sufficiently high grading to make any impression.

The restricted kyu is for judoka of green belt status and under, and this is where Victoria may obtain a few points. There is no combat in the women's event, for here competitors are judged on style and technique in performing some of the judo exercises, rather like gymnastics.

The women's team is: Sue Fichett, Beryl Whitehead, Pat Reesby, Helen Barber, Sue Foster.
