Winston Gordon competed in the mens 90kg judo catagory at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. He lost to Khurshid Nabiev and did not progress to the repechage.

 

Gordon took up judo aged 13, and gained his black belt just three years later. He has cited his first coach, Simon Hicks, as his biggest influence on his career.

 

At the Athens 2004 Olympic Games Gordon narrowly missed out on an Olympic medal, losing his semi-final match to Zurab Zviadauri (GEO), who went on to win gold, and then lost bronze match to Mark Huizinga (NED).
