Judo Assist head coach & referee James Mulroy, had the great pleasure of refereeing at the Special Olympic World Summer Games in Athens. The whole experience was absolutely fantastic and the standard of Judo was second to none.
The athletes gave their all and the rewards were outstanding.
There were no Irish competitors in the Judo this time because judo is not yet a Special Olympic Ireland sport, but hopefully we will be ready for the next Games in 2015.
Here are some of the pictures taken >>
