Dutch judoka Edith Bosch took exception to the boorish behaviour of a drunk fan at the Olympic stadium
Sebastian Coe said it was “poetic justice” that the man who threw a bottle at the 100m sprinters last night happened to be sitting next to a Dutch judo star.
Edith Bosch, the Netherlands’ world judo champion who won bronze in the -70kg judo, said she had “beaten” the person who had thrown the bottle.
The man was subsequently arrested by police. The incident took place just moments before the start of the 100m final.
Coe said today: "I’m not suggesting vigilantism but it was actually poetic justice but they happened to be sitting next to a judo player.
“I think the expression is ippon.”
He added: "Throwing a bottle onto the field of play is unacceptable, it’s not just unacceptable at an Olympic Games but at any sporting event and anybody who does that will be removed.
“There is zero tolerance for anything like that.”
Bosch said on Twitter: “A drunken spectator threw a bottle onto the track! I HAVE BEATEN HIM … unbelieveable.”
London 2012 organisers said that the person who threw the bottle had bought a ticket for the event

Well as long as he bought a ticket thats the important thing
FUCK SAKE
You’d never find a corporate ticket find its way into the hands of such a lout, it was obviously a member of joe pub lic.
Never saw Katie Taylor bx a full fight before. In fairness to the girl she’s the real deal.
The decibel level during Katie Taylor’s fight with Natasha Jonas this afternoon hit 113.7 – the highest recorded at London 2012 so far.
An International Olympic Committee official said the noise surpassed the sound recorded during GB’s win in the cycling finals at the Velodrome last week.
The noise of a jet engine is around 140 decibels.
When Taylor’s name was mentioned for the first time a full 90 minutes before her fight, London’s ExCel boxing arena shook with a roar that one Irish fan said could even be heard at the nearby wrestling arena.
Inside the arena, fans witnessed the best atmosphere at a fight at the Games so far, as the crowd exchanged chants of ‘Team GB and ‘Ole, Ole, Ole’,
While British fighters have boxed in front of partisan crowds every day so far, Jonas’ supporters were vastly outnumbered and outsung by the Irish fans, with a huge number of tricolours to be seen around the venue.
Back home, more than 6,000 boxing fans lined Bray seafront to see Taylor guarantee at least a bronze at the Olympics.
There was a great atmosphere as the champion fighter’s Olympic debut was shown on an open-air big screen.
The boxer looked every inch a gold medal winner in waiting. She was briefly troubled in the second round but extended her advantage in a final two-round battering that saw Jonas receive two standing counts, thanks to a couple of thunderous right hands from the Bray boxer…
Bill: How is it that the Kenyan men have won it 9 times and the women never?
Gerry: Maybe because it was only introduced for the first time for women in 2008. :lol:
Just read Julios post! In fairness Bill knew he was goosed. The greatest putdown of all time he reckoned
Some fucking heifers in the shot putt there.
Cracking game in the girlie soccer semi final.
USA 3-3 Canada.
USA have come from behind 3 times. Sinclair for Canada has a hatrick.
She is closing in on 150 international goals. As is Abby Wambach who equalised most recently with a penalty.
7 minutes left.
Great to see Shane Byrne keeping fit in his retirement
