Not horsey I know, but I'm so, so, so pleased for her to be in the judo final.
Our mum's were friends and she convinced me to give judo a go - Gemma's 4 years younger than me, but used to beat me on the mat.
I quickly gave it up as riding was far more interesting, but my mum went on to work with Gemma's Mum Jeanette, before she died of cancer and we lost touch.
I'm so, so, so pleased to see her in the final and perversely excited to say I've been beaten up by an Olympic finalist!
