Judo: Brazilian breaks medal in shower


LONDON (Reuters) - A Brazilian judoka broke his bronze medal after taking it into the shower and dropping it hours after his victory in a third-place match, a team spokeswoman said on Monday.

Felipe Kitadai, who beat Italy's Elio Verde to win bronze in the -60kg category on Saturday, was so excited about the result that he did not want to be parted from his prize.
