GB WORLD CUP TO BE SHOWN
ON SKY SPORTS

Coverage of the 2006 Fighting Films GB World Cup will be broadcast on Sky Sports 2 at 6pm, Tuesday 11th April.

The 30 minute programme will feature highlights from all seven female weight categories, with a focus on potential British medallists.

Simon Hicks, FF Director, said: "This is a great opportunity for us to show people outside of judo how exciting the sport can be."

Repeats of the programme will follow on Tuesday at 9.30pm on Sky Sports 1 and at midnight on Sky Sports 3. Wednesday showings will be 3am, 7.30am and 2.30pm.

The two-day competition, held at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, will have Fighting Films there in force. A team of three will operate the FF stand, and a seven-man crew will film the judo.

The two mats will be shot by four cameras, one of which is operating on a 78 foot track.

"Using a camera on such a large track is rarely used in any sport, never mind judo", added Hicks. "It will give people a totally new dimension to watch this great sport."
