I just rewatched the final and our expert Tomasz Adamiec (former EC bronze medallist) says she lives in Japan full-time and is actually disliked by the Canadians because she allegedly takes the place away from Jessica Klimkait (at least for the Olympics anyway).

JoshMartini007 2,210 Posted August 28, 2019 #65 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Canada may not be at the top of the judo world, but they are on pace to send one of the larger teams to the Olympics, including currently having a team for the team event. I'd classify them as a "second tier" nation in judo, definitely not on the tier of Japan/Brazil/Russia etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabun was a last minute competitor. He replaced Antoine Bouchard who for some reason or another withdrew.

intoronto 4,236 Posted August 28, 2019 #67 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Only in judo will you see the 8th seed vs the 12th seed in round 2, while another matchup is 116th vs 13th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,213 Posted August 28, 2019 #68 Share Posted August 28, 2019 my reaction when Fujiwara made a mistake in last 10 seconds. De Wit and Albayrak are also out. all seeded athletes in bottom half except for guess who, Muki ! it seems even if Mollaei wins his own matches, (which is a big IF, considering his 3rd and 4rd round opponents) he has to lose/forfeit somewhere unless someone stops Muki who is in a great shape.

heywoodu 13,552 Posted August 28, 2019 #70 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Muki won his QF, now it's up to Mollaei...I wonder if he'll forfeit now or at least goes for it now and sees what happens.
