    ATHENS, Sept. 13 (Xinhuanet) -- Maxine Ingram feels ready to make history by becoming the first female judoka to represent Britain at the upcoming 12th Paralympic Games in the Greek capital.

    Women's judo is to make its Paralympic Games debut in Athens and Ingram feels it a great honor for her.

    "The adrenaline will be really pumping when I get there. I'm determined to come back with a medal," she said here on Monday.

    "I'm a very boisterous person and it is hard to sit still. I think that's why I love judo so much," said the 24-year-old athlete, who will compete in the 63kg category. Enditem
