Good, so we will see new rules applied.
Let's hope in a Riner-Shichinohe showdown.

Sorry for self quote; according to the draw http://www.judo-world.net/ijf/grand_slam/2013_paris/tta_menue.php?modus=1024&sprache=english Riner may meet Shichinohe at the end of the pool A.

I watched some matches on the web. I found new rules very entertaining and dynamic. Most of all I appreciated the fact newaza is allowed even outside the borders.

HOw come there are no Brits at the Paris Grand Slam, seems an odd on for us to miss? I know we were off in Russia but that was not a grand slam. Are we back avoiding the big competitions where is the sense in that.
I do gather there were a lot of penalties with the new rules.....

Riner vs Shichinohe
