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

To be fair, it is deserved, there was just really nothing at all going on...

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.

I’ve stopped watching Judo, it’s mostly so boring.

Alice Belandi in the final. Vs Lanir. 

Lanir won all her bouts by ippon.

And that's bronze for the not at all controversy-free Paltchik.

 

Edit: last minute penalty and Eich gets the bronze  

 

Another edit: Paltchik.... gets his way to bronze after his penalty was waved off

For some reason he got 2 penalties at the same time which is not existing, even Eich was surprised I’m happy they changed this decision and so happy for Peter and Oren his coach who sadly lost both his father and his son in the last few months

Lanir might be the most impressive female judoka so far these Olympics, the way she has been throwing them left and right, hot damn.

I think it's incredible to remember that this sport was my second favorite in the Olympics. What a horrible thing judo has become.

 

As some people say here in Brazil, they should change the name of the sport to "shido".

Yeah, was much more impressive than Belandi.
