Amelie wins Gold at Australian National Championships 2014
Amelie Gautier has returned home gold medalists from National Judo Tournament earlier this month.
Amelie, 10, took out the junior girls division of the four-day tournament.
“She has been on the mat doing judo since she was around four years old,”
“She loves it and she’s grown up around the sport.”
The tournament took place at Wollongong’s Win Entertainment Centre over the June long weekend and Bawley Point Yuukan Judo Club entered four competitors to this year’s event.
Amelie was the youngest competitor from the local club and the event was the second time she has competed on the national stage.
“She fought well and really hard,”
“She had to watch her weight going into the tournament because you fight according to weight division but it wasn’t too bad.”
Amelie has competed at many tournaments including Victorian School Championships in 2010, ACT, NSW and VIC International Open and Country Championships where she medalled.
She is known for not only being a strong competitor but a very vocal supporter of her fellow Yuukan members during competition.
The year 5 School student couldn’t wipe the smile from her face when she spoke to The Times about her first national gold medal success.
“I enjoyed the competition - it was great,” Amelie said.
“My favorite moment was standing up there getting my gold medal.
“I think my favorite fight was the last one, a girl from South Australia.
“It was good because it was a challenge; I had to use a lot of technical moves to get any points.”
