So vaguely Olympic judo related ...
Some drunk idiot threw a bottle on the track at the 100m finals and ...
Following the incident Edith Bosch, the Dutch judo champion who won a Bronze medal in the 70kg category, tweeted about hitting a man who she saw throwing a bottle on the track.
The 32-year-old later told Dutch television station NOS TV: "I had seen the man walking around earlier and said to people around me that he was a peculiar bloke.
"Then he threw that bottle and in my emotion I hit him on the back with the flat of my hand.
"Then he was scooped up by the security. However, he did make me miss the final, and I am very sad about that.
"I just cannot understand how someone can do something like that."

I was watching some of the matches and it seemed to me that there was less throwing and more ground fighting then usual. In some cases it seemed like a couple of the people actually wanted to take it to the ground as a first resort.
Maybe its just me but it seemed like previous Olympic competitions had more throwing but I'd like to know what other more knowledgeable people here think.
