Jefferson native John Watts Flexan shines as judo Olympian
S/Sgt. John Watts Flexan, a 6 foot 4 inch 300 pound judo heavyweight, was part of the 1972 U.S. Olympic judo team in Munich. In a Black Belt interview he notes the team’s grip technique as a possible disadvantage. Watts, a Jefferson, Texas native, rose through the Air Force ranks, winning national and inter-service titles and overcoming a 1969 injury to return in 1971, with two sons and a wife Anne Olds.
