Timeline

1973

Valerie Lafon-Gotay (born November 5, 1973, in San Diego, California) is a former judoka from the United States.

Gotay was born in San Diego.

Her grandfather Piere Lafon and father Gerald Lafon are former judoplayers so she had good background for judo from youth.

She began competing at age of 14.

1992

At 18 years old, Gotay was supposed to compete in the 1992 Olympic Games in extra-lightweight category.

Unfortunately, after working hard to lose some kilos to make her weight category, she became extremely sick with uncontrollable and violent muscle contractions which forced her to withdraw from the competition.

She decided to stop competing after Barcelona.

1996

Gotay later married and has two children Breanna (1996) and Isabella (2001).

2004

In 2004, she came out of retirement.

"I missed the training," Gotay said.

"I'm a pretty intense person. I love training. I missed training for something, having a goal and working toward it. I came back not even knowing I was coming back."

2007

She was invited to compete in the British Open and in 2007 was part of the United States team at the Pan American Games.

2008

At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, she was eliminated in the second round by Isabel Fernández from Spain.

Gotay went to Beijing with big (medal) ambitions, but it was not a very good tournament for her.

She had already had problems in first round with Gulzat Uralbayeva from Kazakhstan.

With three minutes left, she got a second chance, because the Kazakh judoka scored only wazaari, rather than ippon.

After this score, the young Kazakh judoka became very passive.

Gotay took advantage of this passivity and won by ippon with one minute remaining.
