The fight continues for CRFlamengo judoka Leonardo Leite. Fresh from China, where he helped Brazil finish second in the World Team Championship last Sunday (November 18), the judoka is packing his bags for another challenge.

Leonardo Leite and 26 other judokas will be competing in the National Olympic Trials, seeking the second spot in the qualifying process for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The competition will be this Saturday, the 24th, in the city of Uberlândia (Minas Gerais).

After defeating China's Ning Shao by ippon (perfect strike) in the World Team Championship, Leonardo feels more confident about facing his next opponent, Brazilian Mario Sabino. The Olympic Trials will be a best-of-three match.
