When Jimmy Pedro competed at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, he was the most decorated athlete in the sport of Judo and the favourite to win the gold. However, that day he walked away from the mat and his career without a victory.

But after two years of retirement, he launched an unprecedented comeback and fought his way to glory at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.

For the first time, with never-seen footage, Jimmy shares his personal account of his incredible comeback and his remarkable career which spanned over 20 years.

From the mat at his father’s home-town dojo to the mat in four Olympic Games, Jimmy tells the stories of heartbreaking defeats and glorious victories.

He gives his insight into the training, the competitive strategies and the discipline that it takes to become a champion in one of the most difficult of all combat sports.

This is a must see inspirational and motivational DVD for all judoka.

Written and Produced by Jimmy Pedro.
