For the over 78kg class, you can easily “early start”. In the absence of a world champion, Beatrice, who could not get out of the second place in the country for many years, saw Homane Ditko (France), who raised her strength one step further, probably because she was aware that she was the top candidate for V. Souza (Brazil) had a great 2nd place finish, and there were many things to see this time as well.
Yukushin Souza 2nd place
Until now, Souza, who relied on the strength of her throws and was rather fond of judo, finally broke through the wall and advanced to the finals by using the ladder of “kumite and tactics”. It seemed to clearly show the tendency of the women’s heaviest weight class, which is intensifying the aspect of comparing wits, and it was quite tasteful. Come to think of it, Brazil’s Mayra Aguiar, who won the previous day, also changed her behavior by levering her kumite’s rule change (limited acceptance of cuff squeezing). As for the output, Aguiar “make the most of throws” and Souza “hunt down with kumite”, resulting in a completely different direction, but “a small change in tactics such as a change in the rules of kumite, a review of the entire strategy. It has been sublimated to a high level, and has changed not only local correspondence but also global behavior.” Souza’s breakthrough was also interesting from the perspective of the richness of Brazilian scouting, which is on the rise for both men and women.
5th place with 2 losses, but still “fun” and “scary” Ortiz’s judo
There are many other points worth noting if I write them down, but if I had to pick one personally, it would be Idaris Ortiz’s fighting style. He finished 5th without a medal, but it was fun. And I was scared. Ortiz’s peak is extremely high, but everything depends on adjustments, and the condition was not perfected. . I showed that I remained in the ranking round properly in the battle of only the core of the candy ball. From the point of view of watching the game, the “core” is simply interesting, and from the point of view of estimating the strength of the “imaginary enemy” in anticipation of the Paris Olympics, he is the most troublesome, scary, and uncertain player. The former (watching) is “interesting” and the latter (strength estimation) is “scary”. I would like to write a little in a mix.
