Watching this judo match with no idea how a score happens

Wish I understood what I was watching in the judo matches

Needs to put the opponent on his back or submit him (bjj style). 10 points win you the fight directly (like a boxing KO) otherwise you need to be in the lead once the round is over.

You make the opponent land one shoulder on the mat, it's 1 point. Both, it's 10. If you are battling on the ground and pin both his shoulders, you need to hold him long enough to get 10 points otherwise, it's only 1.

If you don't attack for a minute, you get a yellow card. Same, if you fake too many attacks or if you hold the inside of the judogi. If your opponent gets 3 yellow cards, it's a red card and he loses.

That's the basics.

Are Decathletes the best all-around athletes at the Olympics? 10 different events is crazy.

 

[Liu Kang]

I legit thought it was over

Yeah, there was not much hope against Hifumi Abe because he's that good. But Joan Benjamin pulled the W outta nowhere.

It’s been awhile since I’ve heard an Olympic crowd be such a HFA for an athlete like this French crowd

When the French crowd get behind someone/something they go all out. Especially when it comes to belting out La Marseillaise

The atmospheres at the UFC event in Paris and the WWE event in Lyon the crowds were electric. They also know how to build good venues for acoustics.
