“In the +100 kg final, between Teddy Riner and Inal Tasoev, there was an action where neither the referee on the mat nor the IJF Refereeing Commission awarded a point. Teddy’s attack Riner was blocked and countered by Inal Tasoev. The decision was to continue the fight, without counting the counterattack.”explains the IJF. “After the competition, taking into consideration the current refereeing rules and the opinion of judo experts, we believe that one point for Tasoev’s counterattack could be awarded”she continues, before apologizing.
“The IJF Arbitration Commission deeply apologizes for its decision and informs that this type of action will be counted in the future, in accordance with the rules in force”, she points out.
