Bio
He was born in Veendam what is city in North Netherlands near to Groningen.
He lives and train judo in Haarlem (Kenamju).
Career and Style
Grol is type of judoka who represents European judo in every way. Not very powerful but tactical and technical judo.
In beginning of his senior career he had to wait for his opportunity because Middleweight cathegory where he fought was occupied by Dutch judo legend Mark Hurzinga and Half-Heavyweight where he moved in middle of 2007 by Elco van der Geest. He somehow intuited that over Geest he has more chance to fight in big tournaments.
In 2008 he made it and qualified to the exclusion of Geest in Beijing Olympic Games. There he got into semifinal match against Zhitkeyev with who he unlucky lost by contra technic.
The match against Zhitkeyev showed the weakest part of Grol's judo... consistecy. Grol has abilities be the best, unbeatable Half-Heavyweighter but he somehow can't get the final step. His attitude to his opponents is in some way carelessness.
