When one wears a black belt, many judges will give them a higher grade, if everyone wears either red or blue the skill must be evident to be scored well...its no longer about the ranking.
The competitors wear blue and red for scoring purposes only. During standard competitions rank belts are not worn. When sparring they will also go so far to wear red and blue hand and foot gear to make scoring easier. Notice the color of the corner flags?.
who cares about belts ... both of these men performed their kata extremely well .. belts , scoring , trophy`s ...these things have nothing to do with traditional martial arts ...if you are interested in such trivialites as awards and rank then go do american karate or MMA

Most likely they were wearing red/blue belts to distinguish them for scoring purposes.
