Capital Realty Group Offers Athlete Incentives for U.S. Open Gold

USA Judo is pleased to announce that Brett Barron, 1984 Olympian and four-time U.S. Open Champion, and Capital Realty Group in Burlingame, Calif. are offering a $250 incentive for any U.S. athlete who wins a gold medal in an Olympic weight division at this weekend’s U.S. Open, Oct. 20-21 in Miami, Fla.

An additional $250 (for a total of $500) will be offered to any athlete who is a first-time winner of the Open. 

The award will be given in the form of a training grant for any approved camp or competition the athlete attends in either Europe or Asia in 2007. 

“The U.S. Open has historically been one of the best events in the Americas and we’re pleased to have this opportunity to support athletes who do well this weekend,” Barron said. “Many past Open Champions have gone on to World and Olympic success and we wish everyone the best of luck in Miami.”
