Highlights from the men's -60kg judo event semi-finals at the London 2012 Olympics as Russia's Arse Galstyan and Japan's Hiroaki Hiraoka progress to the final.
Judo made its very first appearance at the Olympic Games in 1964 in Tokyo. However, it was not included in the Olympic programme in 1968 in Mexico City, but returned, never to leave again, at the 1972 Games in Munich. As for women's judo, it was added to the Games in 1992 in Barcelona.
Men and women now compete in seven weight categories. There was originally a men's category open to all weights, but this event was withdrawn after the 1984 Games in Los Angeles.

wow that second hiraoka throw was beautiful!

[@TheSchuetzeP]

Hiraoka walking away, like as if nothing happened :D "Gold? Well, of course... Why is everyone yelling & clapping?"

[@IELTSguru1120]

That's the Japanese style. To celebrate or make a big deal about losing is unacceptable. Judo is about more than the match and more than winning and losing...

***** I know that, I do Judo myself (for 10 years now) but its still funny.
