"With visually impaired judo, it's not about what you can't do on the mat, it's about what you can do."
Collette Kerr, a member of Simply Judo Adapts in Ballymoney, has won gold at the British Open Adaptive and Visually Impaired Judo Championships in Wales.
Her international success comes only a year after taking up the sport.
She tells BBC News NI: "I just want people to see that an ordinary person like me was able to train hard, enter a competition and come away with a medal at that level."
