Did you guys notice that no one in greece is showing up for the Olympics? I heard they were giving away tickets to get people to fill up the seats.

Of all Olympic sports I totally fell in love with Judo thse days. The way the score can change from one moment to another is amazing. A great technical sport. Great outfit too (the judoki), everybody looks mean in it, specially if they're unshaven.  Btw, does anybody know what marks the difference between a wazari and a yuki? And of course the Japanese fans are great.
Swimming is boring indeed, specially in the long runs. It is sometimes more boring than ping-pong.
About the Iraq football team: it looks to me really suspicious that of all sports, they are represented in football (which is popular) and they are doing surprisingly well against countries that are tactically participating in the world cup. Although I haven't watched any of their two games, it makes me suspect that they're doped to the bone and nobody dares say anything. Smells to me like a CIA plot to gin them an Olympic medal, hoping that this will appease the angry mob in Iraq a little bit, since football is the only reaaly popular sport there. |
A judo match is scored thusly:
1 point is scored instantly means victory for the guy who scored it. This is called ippon. Ippons occur by forcing your opponent to surrender (usually with a painful arm bar), strangling him until he surrenders or become unconscious, pinning him for 25 seconds (different than pinning someone in wrestling, you just have to have control over him and he can't have his legs wrapped around your body or one of your legs), or by throwing him very forcefully flat onto his back.
There is also a half point scored (called wazari) by a slightly less impressive throw, or a hold that lasts 20 seconds. Two wazari equal ipppon, so that if I have already scored one wazari and hold you for 25 seconds I win.
There are two lesser points as well, and these are used to determine the winner in the case of no better points being scored, or in cases of ties (ie one wazari each) in the higher categories. The first and more valuable of these is called the Yuko. It is awarded for throwing your opponent on to his side, or for pinning him for 15 seconds.
The lowest mark in judo is the koka, and it is awarded for throwing your opponent on to his butt or hip, or pinning him for 10 seconds.
Btw, welcome to judo. It's an interesting sport.
