Judo Paris GS 2024 - DAY 3 HIGHLIGHTS 

For the bear Hug, I think you can't go for it without a previous grip, and in the scored example, Tori was briefly holding a sleeve (wrist/hand) before engaging in the bear hug

Thanks for the videos and your expert commentary.

dam i cant wait to see the +100 draw for paris 24.

I don't have a problem with that final Riner score. If you try and counter, and land flat on your back first in the process, it will be scored against you. They have been pretty consistent at enforcing the rule in that way, at least as long as I have done judo. If you dont enforce it in that way, everytime someone does a throw and rolls through, the person getting thrown will claim they were countering.

He really showed bjj guys how’s done alright 😂 how to struggle 😂 at an armbar

Yusupov caught Riner with the same Yoko Guruma at the club championships in December.

Fantastic streak of video,thanks so much,amazing work

Thanks for video, enjoying in every single one.

The Ngayaps are indeed brothers. It's pretty common in France to have siblings performing at national level. (Gneto, Agbegnenou, Ngayap...)

パリオリンピックでの柔道競技が楽しみ！

As for Harai and the sankako - when Uke stands up it is still not Mate, Uke needs to show control of the situation, usually by raising Tore slightly off the ground. Here it was very clear that although Harai stood up he had no control, hence no Mate was called.

I was in the arena and Saito was out here watching the competition. I was lucky enough to get a picture with the guy :)

I can't imagine why bear hug is forbidden. I like traditionnal Judo style, but yet, the action there was ok, you have to be alert and defend yourself if there is no matte.

You missed Alina Boehm's o soto gari. That was a good one

Lol "showing the BJJs guy how it's done"?? He fuckin missed the armbar 😂

Tutoboev through big but watch the landing in slow motion - the landing wasnt on a full back, it was on the side and the waza-ari call is correct. I think that the obi tori gaeshi throw should also be a waza-ari, but i dont have the other angle, could be a roll movement that awarded the ippon.

The irony is that Kukolj trains BJJ and has his own academy in Serbia

Reiner is so goddamn stronk.

For the bear hug - you can see he first had a slight grab of the left hand and then right hand goes back then the left hand. Since there was first a grab of one hand - not a bear hug, no shido.

It's stand up and completely lift the guy off the mat.

Think yusupov did a counter..howere he didnt manage to fully rotate rinner to get the score

@1:20 the name is not pronounced "skank" :D. It's z (as zebra)- g (as gordon) - ank

Your right ngyap are brother , we were in the same club in France ;) The -100 is the older one

"dicko pulled out the wazari" great stuff

Sherov monster

About the point of standing up for a mate: you have to lift your opponennt completely off the tatami to get a mate.

-78 I'm betting on Mayra Aguiar for the Olympic Gold

One more strange rule is the elbow thing. The ijf rules clearly state that one elbow is waza ari yet they NEVER enforce it

I believe it's a bear hug if the hands overlap on the back of the opponent. It has to start from an existing grip. So the French guy's throw is OK.

Second bear hug left hand are out side it's ligel

Alice Bellandi was punished with that arm around his waist, making him lose the gold medal... this rule isn't very clear, it doesn't make sense to me

I thought the bear hug had to go in two sequence one grip first pause than the other grip. Ugghhh the rules keep changing. I AM GOING TO READ ON IT AGAIN TO ME TORNE EXAMPLE IS HANSOKUMAKE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PAUSE. But the hansokumake example the left hand grabbed the arm and slipped to the collar grip and the right grip went to the back while the opent was side ways for me it is just normal gripping while Torne had the left hand grip on the back of the arm/shoulder while the right arm was also on the back it seems more like a bear hug to me.

never used social media , never seemed real , im 60 yrs old

women judo made sumo. interesting to see the evolution.

Yusupov got robbed. Riner should've lost that

What I can distinguish between the two bear hugs would be charging from distance from behind, where as in the one approved by referee they were at arms reach pretty much facing each other. The hansoku make I relate more to charging in a street fight. I can't confidently say the stumbling opponent shouldn't be aware of an incoming attack, but even though the person throwing got their grips and technique to throw them down, it could promote some pretty nasty incidents for the future if that wasn't intervened. I'd be willing to say the approved one wouldn't potentially lead to quite as likely dramatic cases (even though they could still hit their head on the mat of course). Great call about the bjj caption, it irked me too. Partially because I don't think he would do that well against bjj guys. He played well against judokas who don't do newaza, but I can't say he pulled particularly spectacular moves, just solid transition to armlock and good newaza. I think a bjj player would have squirmed away from that situation. If they wanted to make that post, they should've watched your Nakamura video and showed the best parts of that, because he had to actually wrestle his newaza scores against other newaza player. Not to say Kukolj isn't great, but in the clip it wasn't as impressive.

Every evaluation of ippon should be justified and supported by a report from the judges based strictly on a specific passage or statement of written rules, otherwise unfair decisions with no sense will be repeatedly happen... really shame nobody solve this issue. The championship are dealing with people who train every fu... day, no weekend or time to enjoy woth family, its more than frustrating lose by opinion with no well stablished rule.

O for Gods sake lern to pronounce Kukolj.try Kukoly

I do think Wolf got lucky in the semi. The Ukrainian (at least I think so) countered him for ippon.

I don't like riner's judo
