Totally not rigged draw lol

Coming from a racist country that doesn't like France because our athletes are black, I'm not surprised.

Congrats France once again!!

It was a joke, idiot.

I usually like liberal rules when it comes to who is eligible to win medals, but all fourteen French and Japanese judokas winning medals seems a little bit ridiculous.

I continue to think the mixed judo event is the most bullshit event in the Olympics, summer or winter. But I can’t deny this was entertaining.

That'll be the biathlon pursuit for it being an intrinsically unfair event

She is literally the youngest judoka at the Olympics. I'm sure she'll mature.

 

And she should be a real threat for gold in 2028 and 2032.

Ended up in a 3 months suspension from competition

Imagine if talking to the referee was actually punished in football, we'd only have 3x3 left as format

That seems reasonable to me. Also she could probably use the three month vacation anyway, so this is very much a small slap on the wrists.
