I'd say biased if not truly "political" calls (and not only of "shido")...

 

in particular, Mrs. Babiuc isn't absolutely making a single call fair to the athletes from certain Nations (what she did to Giuffrida against Krasniqi yesterday was just not acceptable at any level...she shouldn't be an international ref anymore*).

 

*ps let's make it clear...Krasniqi is stronger and most likely she would win in any case, but at least we deserved to watch a good match between 2 Olympic medallists...and that lady made it impossible.

Days 3, 1/4 constest (27/99) end with a HSK, vs 12 for day one and 14 for day two, is so pathetics

Still no wins for us, however with Teltsidou and Tselidis (our two best) competing tomorrow I am optimistic that will change.

could have gone better...

 

Teltsidou went out so early that she couldn't even breathe the athmosphere of a world championship...meanwhile Tselidis won a couple of matches, then he had very favourable conditions in round #3...a kind of judo that makes impossible to make their own judo to the opponents, the super anti-Italian Mongolian ref that allowed him almost anything penalizing only Parlati and a true idiot (but with immense talent) like the young Italian against...

 

but this time talent beat ref + the stupid attitude of our guy (who repeated himself even with more emphasis in the quarterfinals, when he defeated the Brazilian guy after having basically already lost -and again despite that infamous ref).

 

more in general, also today I've already seen a lot of infamous calls by the refs, especially they're not calling at all tons of false attacks, giving away shido as if it rains to the guys victim of all those false attacks...they're just killing the show...

Man, we really do suck at these Worlds, only one 7th placement, nothing more.... At this rate we will have a very small Hungarian judo team in Paris.

[Monzanator 4,610]

Well, our best judoka Julia Kowalczyk lost her first match with three shidos the other day and it's still a small miracle we got two other Top 8 placings with her not being one of them. Overall no medals should be expected for Poland anyway.

great result for your team...but at the same time, it's a pity that one of the two girls won't be able to compete in Paris (and probably it's too late for any of them to try and change weight class and qualify for the next Olympics, even if I think Cvjetko has room to go up in the -78kg class in the next Olympic cycle).

[phelps 7,801]

on the men's side, Parlati has lived dangerously all day long, but it paid off so far.

 

a bit surprisingly, no Georgian has made the final...they had 2 in the semis, but both of them let their opponent upset them.

 

good that finally the Home team is represented at least in one gold medal match...but I hope they stop at silver, of course...
