FUKUOKA, Japan (AFP) - Japan's petite judo queen Ryoko Tani believes her
struggles in raising her first baby will only boost her comeback bid for a
third straight Olympic gold medal next year.

 

"I wake up three times a night and breastfeed my son," the 31-year-old said
here Monday as she started full-scale training for national trials next
month ahead of the world championships in September.

"Like any other mother, it is burdensome to me. I don't get enough sleep
each day," Tani said.
