曾7度折桂的柔道冠军谷亮子,此次北京之行,势不可当

姓名:谷亮子(Ryoko Tani)
项目:柔道
国别:日本
年龄:27
她是日本柔道界和戏剧界的女王。她连续在悉尼和雅典两届奥运会上夺金,这对柔道选手来说,可谓史无前例。刚做妈妈的她,期待着她的第三枚金牌。谷亮子有个外号叫“小柔(Yawara-chan)”,因为她和浦泽直树那部柔道漫画中的主角长得很像。2003年,谷亮子和读卖巨人队(Yomiuri
Giants)的外野手谷佳知(Yoshitomo
Tani)在巴黎高调举行了一场奢华的婚礼,这也让她成了日本的热点人物。曾7度折桂的柔道冠军谷亮子,险些与北京奥运失之交臂,因为她刚生完孩子没几个月,就是全国奥运选拔赛了。然而,这位身高4英尺10英寸,称霸柔道48公斤级的世界冠军,再次展示了她的实力,北京之战,必将势不可当。
Judo
Japan
Age: 27
She is Japan's judo and drama queen. Tani won consecutive Olympic golds in Sydney and in Athens, a first for a judo wrestler, and she's looking to take her third as a new mom. Nicknamed "Yawara-chan" after the character in a well-known judo manga, Tani also made headlines in Japan for her extravagant and much publicized Paris wedding to Yomiuri Giants star outfielder, Yoshitomo Tani, in 2003. A judoka with seven world titles, Tani nearly missed qualifying for the Beijing team having given birth just a few months before national qualifiers. But the 4-ft. 10-in. champion, who reigns in the 48 kg (106 lb.) division, has had a rebirth in the sport and takes it into Beijing.
