LDOG 2,198 Posted August 24, 2019 #12 Share Posted August 24, 2019 As always in we only care about the first day of Judo competitions. I doubt Paula can defend her medal from last year, she isn't in good health. I see a dangerous korean in her 1/16 way, I think that will be the end of the road, sadly.

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted August 25, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Visually these new tatami are easier on the eyes (more ascetic), but I am really going to miss the old yellow and red one. “Sport has the power to change the world.

MHSN 3,151 Posted August 25, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Rashnonejad only lasted 3 minutes in Tokyo. he won silver in Asian Champs (which is a big achievement considering the level of Judo in Asia) in his first year with Iran national team but then left Iran with some funny claims like "they were mean to me in Judo federation" apparently nowadays that's good enough for being a refugee despite living (or whatever else) in the Netherlands he still has to participate under "IJF" name, not a loss for the NED. I highly doubt he ever achieves anything for any NOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quasit 849 Posted August 25, 2019 #16 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Good performance by Chkhvimiani. Hopefully Japan will start their gold medal count tomorrow. Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,540 Posted August 26, 2019 #17 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Since when does Afghanistan have to fight with IJF on their clothes instead of AFG? If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

phelps 6,780 Posted August 26, 2019 #20 Share Posted August 26, 2019 well, yesterday we saw some surprising fights among the guys, meanwhile the expected match for Gold was actually the women's outcome... and the Ukranian sensation, Daria Bilodid, did it again...18 years young and already twice senior world champion...wow! in the men's division, painful day for Japan, who had their 2 guys fighting each other only for a not so consolating Bronze medal...however, it turned out to be a wonderful, spectacular fight, with Nagayama turning things around at the last second against the 2018 world champion, Takato... the unexpected Gold medal went instead to Georgia...and not even with their supposed no.1 guy... but Chkhvimiani had the day of his life, escaping many times through the tournament from very difficult situations and closing all of his bouts with authority...well deserved world title for him...
