Judo at the Paris Olympics 2024 -81 PICKS

[@larkhallman]

Nagase is a throwback to the Japanese way , my wife is Japanese and she has the highest respect for this guy. The lost art of gripping is a delight to watch. Probably the most skilled of all the Japanese judokas of his era ….. But my favourite is Sasaki ….. Great videos , thank you

[@marcb8874]

au moins je vous du beau judo avec ces judokas

[@momchiltsonev2897]

does sasaki compete?

[@aharonwaldman6384]

Just like -66 this feels like a race for 2nd place, griglashvili just seems unstoppable at the moment

[@malkhaznikoladze2268]

I also think so

Nagase is my favourite judoka too. I cant seem to find it but I remember last Olympic Games he must have fought nearly an hour total for that gold medal. He went to WAR. Nagase up for WAR again lets gooo!

[@JudoHighlights2015]

I have all of it recorded. I should really go back and watch it

I love Grigalashvili, but Nagase killed em. No chance

[@vbvb8780]

-81 is the toughest weight category in my opinion. Tato seems hard to beat. He seems pretty unstoppably now. Interesting to see which form Nagase is in. Im picking Nagase for silver after Tato

[@keremyzc7210]

Nagase won with a wazari and an ippon, epic!

nagase is gonna prove you wrong

Nagase still the champion!!!!

[@jeanpierrrenault2868]

Merci beaucoup pour cette presentation vraiment bien faite. Bravo pour votte travail

[@aqiria]

Grigalashvili is 2-1 against Nagase actually. I think Lee is the toughest fight for him (and the other way around), whoever goes through takes the gold.

[@Yupppi]

Just leaving a comment for the algorithm. This video series is great. Would you make a video about Nagase at some point since he's starting to phase out and you say he's your favourite, so there must be good stuff in his judo?

[@r.s.819]

If you go to the bathroom and say Nagase in the mirror three times, Judo Highlights will crawl out of the mirror to tell you Nagase is his favorite judoka. Source: trust me, bro

[@JudoHighlights2015]

I’ve got many a video out there on Nagase! But I probably need to update his top ippons video

[@IDEE5]

5:46 what an insane display of power from Grigalashvili.

[@64wy4x8s]

6:16 Eh not really. Koreans in the 2000s and until 2012 London were quite dominant against the Japanese, and nowadays they're going back and forth. Wang Ki Chun & Lee Won Hee at -73kg, Kim Jae Bum at -81kg were absolutely dominant and winning most matches against Japanese players, Hwang Hee Tae in -90kg and -100kg was winning most matches against the Japanese. If anything during this period the Japanese players were struggling to get past Koreans. And looking at more recent top Korean players nowadays, An Changrim was 4-1 against Hashimoto, 1-1 against Akimoto, and losing all 6 matches against Ono. Gwak is 2-1 against Mukai (and the 1 lose to Mukai is due to Mukai literally elbowing Gwak in the head and Gwak unable to continue.), 4-0 against Nagawasa, 2-2 against Baker. Cho Guham (-100kg) is 1-1 against Wolf, 1-3 against Iida. Kim MinJong (+100kg) in recent years is winning most of his matches against Japanese players. An Baul and Kim Won Jin are indeed weak against the top -66kg and -60kg Japanese players, but then against who isn't at those weight classes.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

You may have a point, but I feel overall the Japanese have a higher winning percentage

[@Clyde_Ono]

@@JudoHighlights2015 A strange error from you, since you know very well this rule (which is a shame, considering how many swimmers can compete for a same nation, and for multiple medals all the more; and this rule makes Japan sending his old athlet.

[@dudown_1631]

This category is so elite that it's difficult to say who gets the gold. Nagase is elite, but I wouldn't be surprised if another guy beat him, this category has a lot of good judokas. For me Tato Grigalashvili takes the Gold, but is hard to say.

[@lb261benza-fu9wt]

You doing women categories?

[@JudoHighlights2015]

I’m not knowledgeable enough so probably not

Would be nice anyway and it’s only predictions so we won’t be mad at you if you’re wrong 😂

@@hugoandron8144 I don't know why, but I have a feeling for Abe Uta to win this Olympics 😅

[@linusrind]

I think Shamil Borchashvili is not fit for the olympics because he skipped many tournaments

[@r.s.819]

I'm hoping for a Nagase vs Lee final for Paris, but I'm expecting a Nagase vs Grigalashvili final. At least in the former I wouldn't be upset at whoever won, but in the latter I'm expecting Grigalashvili.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

I think Lee has a better chance to beat Nagase than Grigalashvili to be honest

[@r.s.819]

@@JudoHighlights2015 I'd be more surprised if Nagase did beat Lee in the hypothetical final, but I'd still like to see it regardless. Once Nagase is gone it's probably going to be between Lee, Grigalashvili, and whoever Japan sends out (I hope it's Sasaki, but probably Hojo or Amano).
