Japan's favorite judo star, Ryoko Tani a.k.a. Yawara-chan, made her post-maternity leave comeback in the All Japan Judo Championship yesterday. Yawara-chan won the gold at the last 2 summer Olympics--Sydney and Athens--and holds six world titles in the sport.
She actually lost to a student from Tsukuba, but hey. Mad props to any mother who goes back into professional sports and can throw people on the ground and kick people's asses. She had a son two years ago with baseball player husband Yoshitomo Tani.
If Yawara-chan was my mom, I would probably try not to piss her off too much.
If i was like im with my parents with her being my mother, im sure i would have my ass kicked a few times :P
