No weighty issues for judo couple

AFP, London
Any man who suggests to his । girlfriend she needs to lose weight is entering dangerous territory — especially if the woman in question can throw him on his back and strangle him.
But for Jason Koster, the boyfriend and coach of Moira de Villiers, New Zealand's lone judo competitor at the London Olympics, it's all part of his job.
The judo competition is divided into strict weight categories and Koster wants de Villiers, competing in the -70kg class, to avoid the stress of worrying about beating the scales.
However, Koster insisted all was going according to plan as far as de Villiers's London preparation was concerned, and insisted his remarks had not caused any problems in their relationship.
"That is on a professional level, not a personal one," he said Tuesday.
"Moira is fighting in the -70kg category, but she doesn't have too much to lose. It is par for the course and we have systems in place so it is not a problem."
Four weeks ago, de Villiers took part in a training camp in Barcelona where she
came up against several potential Games opponents including the Netherlands' Edith Bosch, a former world champion and a silver and bronze medallist at the last two Olympics.
And so good was her experience in Spain, de Villiers would have no qualms about competing against of her recent training partners in London.
"I'm hoping to draw them because I did really well against most of them," said the 22-year-old de Villiers, born in South Africa but an Auckland resident for nearly a decade.
"Edith Bosch is second in the world and she was quite a difficult person because she has got the height over me. But she wasn't able to throw me but I threw her once. It was a really good confidence booster and it made me feel great about where I am."
De Villiers, asked how she felt about being the only New Zealand judoka at the Games, said: "It is only me, so there is quite a lot of pressure, but it is good to get the sport out there."
Koster added: "We can beat anyone and that is the nature of fighting. If you don't think you can beat everyone, then you may as well not be here. We are not here to make up the numbers."
