Colombian Olympic judoka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sergio Andrés Camacho (born March 14, 1973, in Caracas, Venezuela) is a Venezuelan-born Colombian judoka, who competed in the men's heavyweight category.[1] Holding a dual citizenship, he captured a 2001 South American senior title for his own division, and had an opportunity to represent his naturalized nation Colombia at the 2004 Summer Olympics.[2]
Camacho qualified for his naturalized Colombian squad in the men's heavyweight class (+100 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing fifth and receiving a berth from the Pan American Championships in Margarita Island, Venezuela.[2][3][4] He fell short in a thirteen-second, earth-shattering ippon and an uchi mata (inner thigh) throw to naturalized Australian judoka and Olympic veteran Semir Pepic during their opening match.[5][6]
