Integra250 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 25 minutes ago, RupertKBD said: I was reading about this earlier this morning.....from what I could gather, the match had gone into "Golden Time" which is what extra time is called in Judo, I guess.... The Korean competitor was assessed a penalty for something. (the article didn't specify what that something was) Apparently Golden Time is equivalent to "sudden death" overtime, meaning the penalty point won the match for Deguchi. Both competitors were already given 2 penalties. I believe 3 penalties is a DQ regardless if its normal or golden time. In this case, the Korean competitor was assessed a penalty (3rd) likely for some sort of false attack. No idea how that is determined but it seems like penalties can be given for not engaging enough, falsely engaging numerous times, or "turtling". This is what observed from watching 20 minutes of Judo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 2 hours ago, Shift-4 said: I just watched. I have no idea what is going on lol I watched the semi-finals. I had the same reaction. Numerous take-downs to seemingly no effect. The Canadian girl got a point which was then taken away from her. The match ended 0-0 and went into extra time. The French girl took a third penalty and was disqualified. A very unusual sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 I don't know. It may not have been the brightest remark to make but should he lose his job over this? Olympics commentator axed over sexist remark A veteran sports commentator has been sacked from his Olympics role after making a sexist remark about Australian female swimmers following their gold medal win. As the 4x100m freestyle relay team were making their way off the pool deck in Paris, Bob Ballard said they were "finishing up", adding "you know what women are like... hanging around, doing their make-up". The clip quickly went viral and broadcaster Eurosport later said he had been removed from the commentary line-up. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cprq880yz0xo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
