c'mon, guys! let's be serious...this Algerian guy is 100 levels below the Mongolian...he didn't need to do anything intentional to lose against him...

Unexpected qualification for the quarterfinals for Simeoli, I remember her in some junior events. Let's hope that she will confirm my expectations

yeah, I just saw her fight against Trajdos...good comeback and controversial ippon in the golden score...surprised they gave it to her in Germany against a German girl, with all the audience whistling the ref...

 

(EDIT: nevermind...my mistake...)

 

meanwhile, not a good day for our boys...Giovanni Esposito lost a fight he should have won against Oroudjov (after a couple of promising wins) and Christina Parlati didn't show his class, losing to an unknown Azeri...

 

bad outing also for Centracchio, losing her first fight of the day (even if Quadros is quite a tough opponent for a rd #1 match)...

Grand Slam (Düsseldorf, GER)

 

Day #2 Recap

 

Second day, but still the same music...

 

Today, 4 weight classes were contested...and Japan won the Gold Medal in 3 of them...

Today's Japanese champions are: Shohei Ono (men's -73kg), Sotaro Fujiwara (men's -81kg) and Miku Tashiro (women's -63kg)...

meanwhile the only non-Japanese winner is Sally Conway (women's -70kg)...

 

therefore, after 2 out of 3 competition days, Japan lead the medal table with 7 Gold Medals (out of possible 9) and Kosovo and Great Britain follow, sharing the remaining 2 Gold Medals (1 each, of course)...

Me neither (although since it's an Arab nation I'm not surprised), but mostly I didn't know Algeria also runs away from competing against them...

 

Don't know if that's the case here or if the Algerian guy just is 10 levels below the Mongolian, I don't know either of them, just found it curious  

I also remember Egyptian Darwish doing something (not greating Israeli judoka?) at the games.

So grow some balls (the federation, not the women) and compete. It's not that difficult.

 

There are 'cheaters' involved in this, yes, and it's not the IJF.

[bestmen 2,903]

they are not recognized as a country here , so not eligible to complete ,

the 2 women just lost points to qualify for tokyo

Guessing Laghnaoui and Bjaoui are going to fight to try and lose? That's got to be interesting to watch, see who ippons themselves..
