There are those who play a sport as a hobby or a way to keep active, but for a select few their sport is a way of life. The latter is the case for the 2012 Olympic judo bronze medalist Marti Malloy. She is the first-ranked judoka in the U.S. in the 57kg weight class and sixth overall in the world. Malloy said the hardest moment she has had to over- come in her athletic career was during her bronze med- al match after just losing in the semi-finals. “It was the worst moment because I lost, but it was also the best because I won (in the bronze medal round),” Malloy said. Malloy is a decorated athlete with six USA national championships, three silver medals and her most recent award, a 2014 Pan Ameri- can Games gold medal. She grew up with her parents and two older brothers in Oak Harbor, Washington where she began judo at the age of six. In 2010, she graduated San Jose State University with a Bachelor of Science in advertising and is currently pursuing her master’s in mass communications. Malloy is an excellent teammate to those around her. Malloy’s teammate Robert Fehr has known her for 11 years. “She was a mentor to me when I got here as a freshman. I didn’t know my ass from my head and her and her boy- friend helped me a lot when I fi rst came out here,” Fehr said. “She is like a big sister. She pushes me to train harder.” Teammate and friend Elaine Ramos-Tandjung said Mal- loy has a good work ethic. “She’s an Olympian so she brings an intensity that no one else has here. She is really tough to work with her,” Ramos-Tandjung said. “Fighting her tells me what I’m up against so when I go to the Olympics I’ll Karl Mondon | Contra Costa Times know what I’ll have to fi ght against to get there.” Marti Malloy shows off her bronze medal during the 2012 London after defeating Malloy began the sport because of a free class that was Italy’s Giulia Quintavalle.
