Situations like this give me PTSD. I went for a Sumo Gaeshi in a tournament. My opponent attempted a sweep and missed me completely but because I sacrificed and the judge missed the angle he just saw us both falling sideways and me spinning over and rolling on top. He called ippon on me, the side judges looked at each other, the crowd booed, my crush was watching….. bad day
