DALE KEOGH RETAINS WORLD MASTERS TITLE

On 30 June – 4 th July 2004, Dale competed in the SIXTH WORLD MASTERS JUDO CHAMPIONSHIPS, at the Matsumae Budo Centre, Vienna, Austria

She retained the previous title that she earned at the last World Masters with the following outstanding performances:

Age Category F6, 55-59 years, Weight -70kg

1. Dale Keogh, Australia

 As there were no other competitors in Dale’s age bracket at her weight, she was included in the next youngest age bracket which had competitors in her -70kg weight class, 45-49 year category, 10 years her junior, with the following result:

F4, 45-49 years, -70kg

1. Jenny Earle, England
2. Dale Keogh, Australia
3. Diane Hardy, Canada

She then competed in the Open Weight Class competition for her age category and won that event:

Open Weight Female , 55-59 years

1. Dale Keogh, Australia
2. Jenny Hussey, England
3. Kira Artemieve, Russia

So the “lej” (legend) lives on to win more glory and do us all proud. Dale is a role model to all Judoka in the club, and in particular to the “masters” and female athletes.

Congratulations on your result and on your immense contribution to the sport.
