Judo champ wins for England
01/01/2008
Newham Sports Academy member
Theodore Spalding who lives in Forest Gate returned from January's
Commonwealth Judo Championships in Mauritius with a gold and silver
medal for England.
The eighteen year old has represented Great Britain on
numerous occasions including the European Junior Championships last
year. He has progressed from the GB junior to senior international
squad competing at 100kg+ weight.
Theodore's cousin, Jermaine McIntosh, 17, is also a GB squad
member, competing at 90-100kg and is GB junior champion.
Although they both receive funding through the national governing
body British Judo, Newham Sports Academy has helped meet the
additional costs of competing at international level. This is where
the Newham Sports Academy can act to plug the gaps and give young
people from Newham an equal chance to fulfil their potential.
