Samuel Dobb on the weekend won the Australian Youth Olympics trial in the Boys 66kg Judo weight class to make the team for Sydney.

The next Australian Youth Olympics Festival is being held on the 16 – 20 January 2013. A total of 24 nations will be competing, including the USA, China and Great Britain.

Samuel who started sprinting just over half a year ago, has been using his new found speed to blitz them not only on the judo mat, but also at last month’s Australian National Schools Swimming championships, finishing 5th in the butterfly final.

Next week Samuel will run in his first competitive race for the new season, competing in the 100m and 200m, where he hopes to add a third sport to his growing list of National appearances in 2012.
