Moscow 1980 Olympic Final +95 kg Parisi (FRA) vs. Zaprianov (BUL) in Full !

The counter at 3.18 would probably score ippon today.

(Edit - not even worth mentioning the ways that current rules would have stopped this match in the middle of action)

God that was like watching paint dry... until the ippon

But how were those yellow jackets the referees had to wear????

I seriously disagree - that was pretty amazing judo, especially for heavy-weights.

Will concede your jacket point, though.

The best color for referees' jackets is brown. In that way they can hide all the shit they cause the Jûdôka.

Yes, this dates from before the days when ippon changed into something awarded to when you go sit on your knees and touch the tatami with some bodypart other than your feet. Oh wait, no those are sumô rules, not ?

I was also surprised by the number of times players could enter ne-waza, stand up, drop back into ne-waza, then transition back to tachi-waza without being interrupted. Much more enjoyable to watch!
