Jamie wins Judo Gold

Jamie Death in Year 13 recently competed in the Scottish Championships for Judo, one of the five Home Nations ranking events used to amass GB ranking points. He competed in the Under 21 category at under 81 kg, and saw off competition from full time athletes and past rivals.

It was his first competition on return from injury when he had sustained a broken rib. Unfortunately, absence from recent ranking events because of this injury caused his overall ranking to drop; however, this recent success has brought his ranking back up to second in Great Britain.

Jamie hopes to study Computer Game Design at university next year while continuing to pursue his Judo career. He has aspirations to compete in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
