24-Mar-2008 - OLYMPIC selection results |
OLYMPIC Quest alive
The 2008 OJU Olympic selection for the Australian Judo team was finalised on the 21st Mach in NZ Christchurch.
Olympic hopeful and Illawarra martial arts champion Mick Cutajar contested the under 100kg division against the Oceania best athletes also trying to qualify. The division was a cutthroat on the points for both Mick and fellow Australian Matt Celotti from Victoria with the inclusion of the current world cup champion Andrew Pragnell & Jason coster both from NZ standing in there way.
Cutajar placed 2nd at the OJU championships & is now the 2nd place Australian for the Olympic team and is in 4th place behind the 2 New Zealand players (who may not be aloud to go to the Olympics),..and will be placed as a reserve in the event that the nominated player is unable to fulfill the commitments.
The OJU Judo officials and selectors have now taken notice of his abilities and what he is capable of.
