Scott Fernandis
Australian Olympic judoka From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scott Fernandis (born 17 May 1981 in Canberra) is an Australian judoka, who competed in the men's extra-lightweight category.[1] He held the 2003 Australian title in his own division, picked up eight medals in his career, including a bronze from the 2004 Oceania Championships in Noumea, New Caledonia, and represented his nation Australia in the 66-kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Throughout his sporting career, Fernandis trained full-time for the senior team at Marist Judo Club in his native Canberra, under head coach and sensei Arthur Moorshead (later died in 2010).[2]
Fernandis qualified for the Australian squad in the men's extra-lightweight class (60 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing third and receiving a berth from the Oceania Championships in Noumea, New Caledonia.[3] He lost his opening match to British judoka and European silver medalist Craig Fallon, who scored a comfortable ippon victory and quickly subdued him on the tatami with a tai otoshi (body drop) at thirty-seven seconds.[4][5][6]
