NearPup 2,398 Posted July 31, 2021 #264 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Lol apparently there are *11* Olympic gold medallists from this event. So more French judokas are going to have Olympic gold medals from Tokyo than Japanese ones. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 791 Posted July 31, 2021 #266 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Completely stupid event. Mixed relays make some sense, but mixed events where the individual performances are just added up and don't really have anything to do with each other are completely pointless. Why not make a mixed football event: Final ranking in men's tournament + final ranking in women's tournament and the nation with the highest average finish gets a gold medal ...

It can be a lack of quality, mistakes being made, bad luck, bad shape or a combination of all that, but that's all something different than not fighting for it and I really doubt they were actually thinking "Ah I'll try but never mind"... Although I do see the same here in the Netherlands, with people saying they barely tried. That's just unfair, even if the performance was far below par, probably nobody is more disappointed than themselves in reality. Because you can bet that they all tried. You may be right (I cant believe that I said it ) Saying that they didn't fight for it, may sound unfair... However, this is a sport that I love. I practice when I was a child, and one of the best days for me in Rio, was when I watched one finals day (Majlinda ). So, it hurts a lot in me seeing a poorly performance from our team there... We had a lot of judokas losing in the very benning of their fights, and a few losing by shidos, SHIDOS! This is unaceptable for me. As @vinipereirasaid. I'm glad we won't see most of these names in the next cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 791 Posted August 11, 2021 #269 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Does anyone know why Russia did so badly here? Is this representative of their current level or did they have bad luck?

From what I’ve understand, it was the pressure of preforming and getting results no matter what happens, “in regular Olympic Games “ Russia well.. is Russia and they got more athletes, so the pressure is divided between more people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
