Throw from the ground?

Just watched this

What do you think score or not?

The turnover at 2:10 is hardly mentionable as judo but that is the sort of thing that wins too often internationally.  Perhaps the influence of wrestling in some styles that is a point.  I think in Japan it would not pass muster.

I couldn't see the armbar clearly but was surprised that didn't work.

Hansokumake blue at 4:36 ... in some people's view of judo both ladies should have to sit down ... but in Olympic jacket wrestling there must be a winner.

Good job on the commentary Sheldon. I don't know how you keep it up year after year.

The hook to me is legit it could not be used to throw as in Kawazu-gake. Perhaps desperation knowing that was a bad attack, why blue would attack the rear leg without kuzushi and controlling the top half is beyond me at this level..

So many ground opportunities missed not tightening up everything before applying locks at least the coach can hopefully sort that?

Yeah, that should not have scored. It was a throw, the uke turned totally to the front, the tori kept pulling her into the ground. That had nothing to do with a throwing technique.

The later action past 04:40 is something entirely different. Polling countered well, but both girls clearly could lift their legs very high. In the end though Conway went off the ground completely. The camera angle does not allow to fully appreciate the action. Conway's upperbody clearly goes with her chest turned to the tatami, but that does not necessarily mean her lower body lands full-front; it could or it could not, that why there are judges.

Don't be surprised those armbars don't work. Those girls are made of elastic or have triple-jointed arms. Women and estrogens, you should take some (estrogens), you'd be amazed what you could do. There are some side-effects, some good (less shaving), some not so good ...

I would love to do randori with those girls, really tall, quite some room for coaching input, brings back some reminiscences of times long past.

In judo, no score. In reality, blue should consider herself lucky she got to fight an extra three minutes and was not awarded an ippon against.

Nope.  That ain't it.  Hint:  Look at blue's right hand.

In modern view the throw was continuous and in modern view you get a score. If you get a score then waza-ari is correct. You used to see this a lot at -60 kg but hey now bigger ladies have learnt this too. I agree that whether this is a Judo throw is debatable. One allowed this as at -60 kg this was perhaps the only way to score.
BillC, if you try to be funny and refer to the grabbing below belt rules then you are late (as usual) and misinformed (as usual) as rules have changed again So twice no hansoku; new and older rules both.

Oh? When did this change?

"Penalized with Hansoku-make:
o Leg Grab: All attacks or blocking with one or two hands or with one or two arms
below the belt in Tachi-Waza will be penalized by Hansoku-make. It is possible to
grip the leg only when the two opponents are in a clear Newaza position and the
Tachi-Waza action has stopped."

I'd say that grabbing the bottom of the apron area of the judogi to try to finish a throw ... and then holding that grip to try to prevent being tossed backwards ... but then again I am usually misinformed. I'd love to be wrong, because it's an excellent grip in a pinch.

Was it continuous the initial two knee seoi was avoided/blocked? followed throw while white was in newaza?

I saw back exposure which scores in wrestling, bit rich to call this a throw
