I, personally, don't see how white is scoring ippon here. As a BJJ guy, I see blue initiating to attack uchi mata, white attempting to defend, almost stuffing blue's attack by sweeping him onto his back, but blue gets his balance and ends on top inside white's closed guard.
I don't understand how white scores anything from this position, much less wins the match.
The "throw" from white is uchi mata sukashi basically uchi mata slip/counter. Legitimate technique within judo. Whether this would be a clean ippon is debatable, but it would have definitely be at least wazari.
I would agree it's an ippon as it is a very nicely executed uchi mata sukashi with plenty of intent from white
No, uchi mata gaeshi requires you to stop ukis uchimata and then revers the direction backwards sweeping the supporting leg.
The direction is correct for sukeshi I don't believe tori is using his leg in the op he's just using his hands and shoulders to take ukis momentum and direct as he slips the technique. Definitely sukeshi even if a slightly unorthodox application.
Yes, it is the same technique she is showing. The designation of a throw is usually defined by the fulcrum. Koshi waza, the fulcrum is at the hip, ashi waza its around foot/leg. So this would still be tae waza as the hands are the main factor.
The fact she is manipulating the leg doesn't really make much difference. We don't change an ashi waza throw like osoto gari because tori has taken an over the top grip and is actively manipulating uki's chin with his forearm.
I hope that makes some sense as it's quite difficult to explain through text, and I'm also struggling to find the correct words to explain.
