WC 2010 Tokyo [-100kg] Takamasa Anai (JPN) - Henk Grol (NED) FINAL

[JadedPrimate]

To me, this sort of match doesn't seem like much of an advertisement for the sport of Judo. At least, not from the viewpoint of an observer hoping for some excitement. Grol perhaps lost the match because he was deemned to be too impassive, but Takamasa didn't exactly seem to be taking many chances either, especially not when he was ahead.

@JadedPrimate Takamasa initiates attack (first to attack not counters) at 4:03 again at 4:10 again at 4:23 followed by another at 4:30... THEN FINALLY Grol initiates attacks at 5:09 Another attack from Takamasa at 5:30... Over all Grol was just planting his weight on Takamasa i feel this match would have been better if Grol would have attempted more often...
