Judo: Medal is for ailing Greeks, says Iliadis


LONDON (Reuters) - Ilias Iliadis put aside his disappointment at missing out on a judo gold medal at the London Olympics and said he hoped the bronze he won on Wednesday will bring some joy to those suffering in crisis-hit Greece.

Iliadis said he wanted his medal, Greece's first of the Games, to have a positive impact back home. He had been favourite to add gold in the men's -90kg category to the one he won in Athens as a teenager eight years ago.
