Iliadis is out!

EDIT: actually he's still in the running for bronze.

Winston Gordon's harai makikomi was quality, it pisses me off that there's no way I can reply the matches I've missed I can only watch it live, BBC has dropped the ball there

You can replay the ones you've missed, go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/...video/p00w2yg5 and click on the little numbered boxes underneath the timeline.

If you go the schedule you can watch the whole event of any you've missed as well.

Is it just me or are there a lot of leg grab DQs? Didn't somebody win Gold off someone grabbing a leg?

Are those Kiais I'm hearing from Fei Chen?

Nathon Burns isn't at all chuffed:
"You can see teamGB Judo fighting their hearts out & losing very narrowly to winners & medalist!! Where doing our job, Now the system needs to do there job!! Our COACHES are amazing & as good as the best but they need help & backing like us players do off the SYSTEM!! But when you have IDIOTS who don't have a clue & dont care in charge of the whole tree, the branches really wont grow to there potential!!!"

That on the BJA forum? Is there still such a thing following snazzy web-site redesign?

P.S. To be fair the new web-site is a lot less rubbish and has a big "Find a club" link on the front like it ought to.

That would appear to be the case here. Very good analogy.

Given that as well the 2 Russian golds and 1 bronze Ezio Gamba is going to be in high demand when his contract is up.

I've just left the Excel centre and **** that was good, just constant world class judo. Some of the judges were a bit Ippon happy and the GB team did indeed fight bastard hard. Decosse was different mustard though!
