Walide Khyar's behavior right after this was also massively disrespectful, I'm surprised the IJF didn't open a disciplinary procedure against him. Especially considering the IJF has done so against other judokas for far less severe actions before. Khyar has some of the worst on-mat behaviors I've ever seen in most of his fights. If you follow the IJF world tour you know what I'm talking about. And apparently in 2012 when he was a junior athlete, he and other members of the French junior team committed group shoplifting in Tokyo.

Well with the edit it does seem really bad. I did watch the whole fight though and have to say Maruyama really didnt shine either. Dropped without reason multiple times without any consequences, so i do get Khyars frustration in part. Then again Khyar was indeed quite the asshole, too, so...

I kinda think there should be easier shido/hansoku make for being an ashole. In some cases its really extreme and nothing ever comes to stop it. Like the pulling here while standing up, running extra laps around the ref to get a break in this fight for example.

Do those guys not learn about the respect aspect of martial arts or something? What’s going on over there? This a constant issue.

There is a general problem of attitude among young French men from the “banlieue” in sports, but don’t overgeneralize please, it is very rare. Just because you saw two short videos of young Riner and Khyar showing poor attitudes doesn’t make it a universal truth. Look at all the other French judo champions who are really humble and respectful.

Judokas faceplant a lot more frequently vs other grapple sports it seems, so yeah im sure it's by design 🤕

The poker face after winning or losing is pretty cool... Ono had it too. I remember after Rio finals he cracked a small smile and then in the interview was like "I promise I'll do better next time" with a straight face.

A notable exception was Kosei Inoue after winning the 2000 finals vs Gill. He was so happy :)

He’s my mat role model. No celebration or even any sign of emotion when he beats someone. Just walks off like that was always going to be the outcome.

Reported, 0 tolerance for this in Judo.

Everyone should call out comments like this immediately, no matter if its in the dojo, in competition or online.

I wanted to read the pendejadas.

The world really doesn't really realize about how on top of racism we are in the USA. The worst are the Americans- we sincerely ignore all the progress we made.

But that old school deep down racism... ::chefs kiss::
