What a move for  Lanir to throw out Steenhuis, bringing her down and immediately taking the arm.

 Turoboyev against almost anyone looks like a killer whale toying with a seal before killing it.

By the way, is there any movement going on to try and make judo more attractive again? In so many sports everything has to be shiny and flashy, but in judo the explosive throwing and action of 10+ years ago has made way for today's....well, waiting and fighting each other's hands for the right grip. It has turned from something cool in such a mega low action viewing sport.

And Lytvynenko is out in rep. without losing a single point at the whole tournament like Bilodid. No questions - Ma was a bit more active. But these decisive passivity point makes judo close to that infamous 1:1 matches in Greco-Roman
