  Kim Jae-bum Wins Gold in Men's -81kg Judo

We begin with the latest from day four of the London Olympics where Korea's star judoka Kim Jae-bum has quenched the nation's thirst for gold in Judo, defeating Germany's Ole Bischof in men's 81 kilogram division.
Kim has now hit a grand slam in Judo, winning in the Olympics, the world championships, the Asian championships and the Asian Games.
The victory is especially sweet for Kim as Bischof had beaten him in 2008 Olympics final.
In men's foil fencing, Korea's long-time Olympic fencer Choi Byung-chul won the bronze medal after a white-knuckle match against Italy's Andrea Baldini.
Korea now ranks fourth in the medal standings, with three gold, two silver, and three bronze medals.
We'll bring you more details of the London games in our sports segment.
