Judo at the Paris Olympics 2024 -66 PICKS

[@anton_seitz]

Yeah, Abe is winning for sure. I trained at Nittaidai and saw his nage komi, it's a thing of beauty.

[@DoctorEncriptos]

This content is excellent, I enjoy your positive vibes and technical details.

[@lb261benza-fu9wt]

66 is a tournament for silver medal. Nobody is getting through Abe. (For me silver is between Yondonperenlei, Torne, and Margvelashvili)

[@lenny.phl_official]

An Baul has the Skill and is One with the highest experience at the Olympics

[@kipchika5989]

@@lenny.phl_official no chance against Abe though

[@aqiria]

I don't think Garcia Torne gets through Margvelashvili or Yondonperenlei at such a major tournament.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

A non believer…

[@yabelson]

I agree too. Yondonpereley and Margvelahvilli are so experienced, i dont think Torne is quite there yet. If Shmailov goes with him, i think Shmailov will win. I for one fancy Shmailov for a medal, he had an amazing year and comes out strong with great skill.

[@MMatt-oj1bi]

5:45 was absolutely textbook. Looks like he's just doing some Uchi-Komi

[@lb261benza-fu9wt]

“So he’s up against Abe Hifumi…” *do I really have to talk about it*

[@vbvb8780]

Abe must be the biggest favourite in the whole tournament. I dont see anybody beating him or even give him a real good fight. The other medals will be interesting, its open

[@Yupppi]

This is just the content I needed for the upcoming olympics.

[@dudown_1631]

I think 🥇 Hifumi Abe 🇯🇵 🥈 Whalide Kyar 🇫🇷 🥉 An Baul 🇰🇷 🥉 Yondonperenlei 🇲🇳 Pick is dificult because -66 is hard category. But I rooting for my compatriot William Lima

[@yabelson]

I dont think Khyar is up to the level here, he hasnt had that many high results in the past 2 years in major competitions and this is the top one.

[@dudown_1631]

My guy is 🥈 I very proud 💪

[@terrykim2743]

Hashimoto!

[@ulysses-pact]

No one really thought that Lima would get silver huh

[@RautaMauri]

Luukas Saha going to medal at -66 like he did at world championships and get Finland's first olympic medal in judo!

[@JudoHighlights2015]

I think that's reaching a bit. Good luck to him though!

[@samil5601]

Needs massive improvement from the WC. As much as that was a great result for Luukas, he was very lucky in the tournament, too.

[@RautaMauri]

@@samil5601 Definitely agree with you. Just being biased as a finnish guy

[@r.s.819]

According to the list the IJF posted on their site, Japan has at least 4 different athletes who qualify directly for the Olympics in 66 kg. I'm interested to see if Hifumi actually does end up moving up to 73, because I've read he's considered doing it for the 2028 Olympics. He's going to have competition from a Tanaka brother either way.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Where did you read that?

[@r.s.819]

@@JudoHighlights2015 hochi.news/articles/20240629-OHT1T51299.html?page=1 A different article indicates he'd want to take time off from competing to build up to 73 kg. That same article indicates his natural weight is around 73-76 kg.

Not yet but we know based on the seeding what the QFs are

[@yabelson]

​@JudoHighlights2015 its a draw, so its a guess of what they would look like 😊

[@Barabass]

i don't think vieru is going to make it into the semifinals, the mongolian also not.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

you might be right about Vieru, but Yondon is so good

[@sushinfudoshin8991]

Not related to the video: Do you have any info why several Individual Neutral athletes (i.e. Russians) such as Tasoev, Bashaev, 1 Georgian Zaalishvili, 1 from Angola and Venezuela are "ineligible" for the Paris Olympics ?

[@yabelson]

No Russian judokas, Russia is banned and while they were able to go around that with this "individual athlete" nonsense in the Olympics you have to have a flag (or be under the refugee banner), so they cant compete. For the others - probably didnt meet the criteria.

[@lotaonua]

The only way I see Abe Hifumi losing is by ne waza. He's not the strongest there and that seems to be his only weakness

[@elbertkim55555]

I think An Baul will bronze

[@geoffberesford]

Some of these so-called Judo throws had never existed at all in the mid 1960s. And furthermore could not be found in any instruction manual of the time.

[@megatronpasteteque2182]

I may be wrong, but I think Yondonperenlei is not selected, Mongolia is sending someone else (Battogtokh).

No, they went with Yondonperenlei.
