Honestly the best judo I've seen yet

[@Suzifully]

Her Judo style is so explosive, her attacks are almost like a snake when they dart out and attack. It's interesting and I love it :)

you are joking right?

i have my dream of being a judoka since childhood....loved the match

she made all us cry.. I'm so proud of her... I live near her in the same district, she is a very humble girl

[@caravaggio31]

Menezes didnt defeat a common judoka. She defeated the Beijing Olympic champion Alina Dumitru who in that 2008 Olympics defeated the great Ryoko Kamura Tani to win the gold.

[@fwanzki6607]

Wow! I just recently went on a judo vid spree. I knew judo was a part of mma but as a sport I didn't know I'd be so much exciting. The technique is really intriguing. Amazing sport!

[@flaviovinni]

She is so good.I see her everytime here in Brazil because I'm student from the same university from her!!

Sarah você foi espetacular! Queremos ver vc brilhando no rio 2016

[@k3vint0wn3r]

I think Judo is really cool and both these athletes are no doubt extremelt experienced. The Brazilian fighter's style is beautiful to watch. I'm a little confused on the rules though. Why wouldn't the fight be over if the ROU Judoka essentially tapped?

[@FireFreya]

In judo the highest singular scores wins - scores are only accumulated if they are of the same grade. Points are rewarded for either throwing an opponent on their shoulder blades or holding an opponent down for several seconds right after throwing (depending on how long the scores can vary). The Brazilian Judoka did not throw her opponent, so she did not get any points for her arm bars, but because the other Judoka acted so defensive she got a penalty. Holding the arms bars, while not getting her points, was also good for the Brazilian Judoka, because if there are no points scored during a match the dominating Judoka would win. The rules of tournament Judo can be a bit confusing, but essentially one perfect or better throw or hold-down will always win the fight.

[@hiranom20]

Menezes fought like a BJJ practitioner. Wouldn't be surprised if she started there, and branched off into judo. Nice win. She wanted it more, and was always looking for an ippon, either via throw or submission.

[@Argis107]

A Judo must be like this. Congratulations from Japan.

[@andreikuji]

Ahh, doar argint pentru Alina. O sa ai mai mult noroc data urmatoare. Nu conteaza ca ai pierdut, tot esti una dintre cele mai bune Judoke din istoria tarii noastre. Capul sus, mergem mai departe.

Judo is so terribly turned into fancy wrestling... It's so rare to see judokas actually using and manipulating their opponents' force in competition.

[@manuelamartinez7410]

Quem olha fala que é fácil que é chato mas para quem pratica isso não passa de um esforço e talento sabe oque é sofrer com uma dor um golpe destes não é fácil nem de dar nem de aprender o judô e como todas as outras lutas mas só muda o geito de agarrar e os golpe mas em fim eu pratico judô sei o que é isso então para quem fala que isso é chato prática e aprende algo para depois criticar todos e Todas os lutadores enclisive a nossa senhora soberana sara Menezes te espero mas olimpíadas de 2020 quem se endificou com isso curte e deixa um comentário com sua opinião

[@seandavila835]

It looked like Menezes had the armbar from the bottom set up twice; why did the referee stand them up both times?

[@FireFreya]

Because it wasn't the hold-down result of a throw and/or did not develop in a throw.

[@leonanrodrigues3192]

Sarah você e uma otima judôca te quero ver VC em 2016 jogando pró alto na olímpida só ippon linda que ilumina voce

zendaya's a bit different

[@kalinroz7198]

olympic judo rules are so weird now. Almost unrecognizable from a combat art.

[@pduffy421]

Extremely unsportsmanlike behavior at 7:03, deliberately sitting on her opponents head. Should have lost that point. Very rude and shows no respect from Menezes.

[@Smelend]

hansokomake in my opinion :)

[@lfernando972]

First, she was on her back and she couldn't even know if Alina's head was still there, besides it was a fight worth gold, for sure she was airborne and focused on other things. Second, it would only be unsportsmanlike if she sat down with the intention of hurting, but you can clearly see that she only leans on and doesn't put any force
