Gold for Burton


Euan Burton struck gold for Great Britain at the Tokyo Grand Slam.

The Edinburgh player had a shock final win over Korea's Olympic silver medallist Kim Jae-Burn by an ippon in the Under-81kg event.

"This was one of my targets for the season," he said, "After the World Championships, this is the biggest tournament against the best technical players from Japan and Korea."

Burton is now focused on taking a break over Christmas before the challenges of 2010.

Edinburgh clubmate and fellow Olympian Sarah Clark was fifth in the Under-57kg event.
