Why, in the last IJF coaches and referees seminar (held last week), Adams was still wearing a kohaku belt? https://youtu.be/73rPADP4zNY?t=6487
Shouldn't he wear a solid red belt, being a 9th dan?

That is a young Neil Adams in the days when both judoka in a contest wore white judogi, and the first name called wore a red belt. It is not a photo of Neil as a 9 dan.Anatol wrote:https://www.judoinside.com/photos/hans/judoka/4889__Neil_Adams/pic_225_000000_adams.jpg
