GLENVILLE, N.Y. -- Two young Olympians will board a plane to London tonight after their final practice here in the States.

Burnt Hills High school alum Nick Delpopolo and with Kyle Vashkulat will compete for Judo gold in London. Soon to be 22-years-old, Vashkulat will be the youngest American to compete in the men's half heavyweight division.

Their coach has every confidence in them as athletes, and as all-around great guys.

Delpopolo competes on the 30th, and Vashkulat's group takes the floor on August 2nd.
