What do you think? Did she bite? Or it was just a choking hand misplaced on the mouth?

Nah, she didn't bite - nor did she attack her fingers. It's just the angle and the teeth marks that makes it look bad.......

Take a look at the Roper vs Pavia thread Jonesey started if you want to see a judoka bite.

had missed that.... no bad blood apparent there!

She did bite.

Playing Devils advocate here.............

Did White pull her hand back into the mouth of Blue, thus forming teeth marks ??

just askin'.

Let's hope not ... blood-borne diseases are often serious ...

Worth noting to those who like to use a cross-face thinking that the referee won't see, or that "it's just randori" ... please don't try to dislocate my jaw or smear my nose across my face ... I don't care what you do in other grappling sports.

It seems to me she definetelly took a bite and then released the hand at one point..

No one has mentioned twisting the fingers ... ?

OK asshole, you did make a passing and indirect reference. But someone ... who was that ... just made the point with me that Japanese does not include an understanding of cynical or sarcastic humor. Who was that ... ?

Having fun with John in your absence working the background of goshinjutsu ... no homo.

Safe trip and safe home my brother.

I don't know if it's the "desire" to win but the behaviour of some of the competitors has been downright nasty in the past tournaments I've watched.

It's clear that the Korean bit the Japanese in the wrist. What was her motivation? We don't know, but she should have been penalized with hansoku make. I have seen people getting hansoku for much less than that.

Sorry I don't agree to me it looked like a quite accidental situation by both players. Watch the Japanese players face .....there was no sign of annoyance, dismay, offence or even surprise. Had she been bitten I believe she would have betrayed some emotion.

Things sometimes look worse if we are looking for critical incidents.

It looks to me as if the Korean taps out, too!

Japanese people rarely show any emotions during competitions. They are known for being stoical.

Looks unfriendly, normally the injured jumps around to get the perpetrator disqualified at one time we were being taught in the national squad to feed the jacket into ones own mouth lift your head and frantically point to get the disqualification or Matte. So can work both ways, all part of the higher end game of judo.
