London's future golden athletes talk about what they hope for in 2012

British judo athletes failed to win any medals in the Beijing Olympics in 2008. But they're hoping to change that at London 2012.

Now Horizon School students talk to medal hopefuls Colleen Kerr and Theo Spalding-McIntosh


They're both excited at the chance of competing in front of a home crowd. Colleen says her family will be watching.

Judo athletes are part of team GB

Theo says, "I hope we can get a few medals across the board because it's about time Britain won a few."
