Olympic Profile Funny

[NHB_Ben]

This isn't meant to be inflammatory, but this is what the NBC Olympics profile says for the US Half-Heavyweight Women's competitor:

NICOLE KUBES
Half heavyweight (78kg/172 lbs)
Age in Athens: 18
Hometown: Fort Worth, Texas
Games experience: None
Did you know? Kubes originally began her martial arts career practicing taekwondo, but switched to judo because she wanted to be able to fight.

While that IS pretty funny, it may have meant that she wanted to round out her fighting skills, having already trained in striking...but what am I saying, it's freaking Tae Kwon Don't we're talking about!

At the time I was asleep! And there's no "B" at the end of my screenname Osirisb.

"Fighting" is what some judoka, especially old school judoka, use to refer to competition. Also called "playing".:D

EDIT: I need to work today, so feel free to claim this one, forum victory is yours.
