I wonder if that actually works for them, since judo still sounds like a relatively niche sport...at least not like a massively bigger sport than say 5-10 years ago. Are that many people really going to pay €100 a year to watch judo?

IJF did much better than other similar federations (Taekwondo, Wrestling, Weightlifting, Fencing etc) to promote the sport. they are much better in organizing

 

but still I think it's wishful thinking. these sports have to accept their popularity as it is and don't take big steps like this. but who I am to advise the great Marius Vizer.

no, I'm not going to pay anything...

 

however, "regular" tournament prelims are still free on the IJF's website, finals are always on tv or on the Discovery+ app...

 

therefore they won't get a cent from me.

Weightlifting went behind their own paywall? That could be why it disappeared from Eurosport's channels..

by the way, in the early rounds of the women's -52kg, we've seen a rare double disqualification.

 

:CAN Kelly Deguchi and :CHN Ben Liu were both DQed after more than 8 mins of Golden Score :yikes: :facepalm: which left :UZB Diyora Keldiyorova without opponent in the round of 16, gifting her of a direct quali through the top 8.

what a wasted chance for Giuffrida!

 

she lost by triple shido against Pupp in the quarterfinals...she could have easily gone through to the final and win her 1st world medal after many European's and a double Olympic bronze.

 

but she just couldn't manage the distructive "do nothing and let the opponent kill by herself with multiple shido" tactic by the Hungarian, a true specialist in this non-judo game :facepalm: :hairpull:

 

and the right punishment for such a wasted opportunity, it's a BMM vs the worst opponent she could find with her style of play, the Olympic Champion in the -48kg class from Kosovo, Distria Krasniqi, which means that she will come home with nothing more than a miserable (given the chance) 5th place. :nopompom:

 

in the men's section, no major upset Today...

 

so, we have the most anticipated match of the entire World Championship, a new chapter of the Abe vs Maruyama neverending story.

 

definitely, a not-to-be-missed matchup.

 

and take a good seat...it coud go long, very long (or maybe not, who knows? I just can't wait for it :cheer:).

Giuffrida wins bronze after 8 minutes of golden score

she's been great, but also very lucky in her bout vs :KOS Krasniqi.

 

still, I think she's just missed a chance for a silver that most likely she won't have anymore...:facepalm:

 

on the other side, mr. Nutsubidze just killed the men's final with a stupid (if not even biased) decision to give Maruyama a 3rd shido in the golden score when both players were starting to increase the pace and actually trying to do something after they did nothing in regulation.

 

as a neutral fan, I'm really, really disappointed.

 

as someone who knows quite a bit about judo, I'm disgusted.

    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on
