Русская версияOle Bischof of Germany won a surprise gold in the men's 81-kilogram
judo final on Tuesday, Aug.
12. Bischof took the lead over Asian
champion Kim Jae-bum with just over a minute remaining in the final
and kept on the attack until time ran out.
Only hours earlier, Alexander Grimm, 21, navigated the difficult
upstream gates flawlessly to win the single kayak slalom
competition for Germany. Grimm won in a combined time of 171.70
seconds.
"I can't believe it, this is just an amazing feeling. It was my
dream since I was a small child," Grimm said after winning.
Germany did less well in other sports Tuesday. Hopes for a medal in
gymnastics were dashed after Germany's star gymnast, Sebastian
Hambüchen, unexpectedly lost his grip on the horizontal bar. That
left the men's team with a fourth place finish.
