I'm going to my first Olympics in Beijing and compete in judo's -81kg division.
I won World Championship bronze in Brazil last September, beating Athens gold medallist Gieuseppe Maddaloni to qualify for the Olympics.
I have been a judoka since the age of six and gained my black belt 10 years later.
Edinbugh-based judoka Euan Burton, 29, is competing in his first Olympics, in the -81kg division. His previous diary entries are on 606. Our FAQs should answer any questions you have.
