Josh Katz

Josh Katz (judo) made his Commonwealth Games debut in Birmingham alongside older brother Nathan Katz, the pair becoming the second set of brothers to represent Australia in the sport at the Commonwealth Games after Steven Hill and Thomas Hill in Manchester in 2002. Josh lost his semi-final in the men’s 60kg to the eventual gold medallist but won his repechage bout to take bronze. Josh won his division at the Australian junior championships in 2013 and 2014, winning four straight junior Oceania titles between 2012 and 2015. His second of four straight senior Oceania titles (2015-18) in 2016 was enough to qualify for the Rio Olympic Games, where the then 18-year-old became the youngest male judoka to represent Australia at an Olympics, joining Nathan as the first brothers to represent Australia in the sport at that level. Josh and Nathan are second-generation judo fighters. Their mother Kerrye represented Australia when women’s judo was a demonstration sport at the Seoul 1988 Olympics and was coached by their dad Rob.
