Ole Bischof of Germany won a surprise gold in the men's 81-kilogram judo final on Tuesday, Aug.
12. Bischof took the lead over Asian champion Kim Jae-bum with just over a minute remaining in the final and kept on the attack until time ran out. Only hours earlier, Alexander Grimm, 21, navigated the difficult upstream gates flawlessly to win the single kayak slalom competition for Germany. Grimm won in a combined time of 171.70 seconds.
"I can't German-Turkish Institute Head Sacked for Holocaust Comparison ...
Ebadi calls on media to foster peace ...
Burma to accept outside help ... believe it, this is just an amazing feeling. It was my dream since I was a small child," Grimm said after winning.
Germany did less well in other sports Tuesday. Hopes for a medal in gymnastics were dashed after Germany's star gymnast, Sebastian Hambüchen, unexpectedly lost his grip on the horizontal bar. That left the men's team with a fourth place finish.
