Heo Mi-mi’s ‘fake attack’ foul loss Winner Deguchi also says, “Judo must change”

Hermimi is holding up her silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics women’s 57kg class judo award ceremony held at Arena Champ de Mars in Paris, France on the 29th (local time).

While Heo Mimi (22, Gyeongbuk Sports Council), who chose the Taegeuk mark instead of the Rising Sun Flag, unfortunately lost in the final of the women’s 57 kg class in judo at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the winner Christa Deguchi (29, Canada) opened up about the judging, saying, “It’s an area that needs to change for judo.” In the

final held at the Arena Champs de Mars in Paris, France on the 30th, Heo Mimi, ranked 3rd in the world, lost to Deguchi, ranked 1st, by foul after a close match that went into golden score (extra time) for 6 minutes and 35 seconds. In judo, a match ends in a foul loss when a player receives three “jidos” (yellow cards).

In the 4 minutes of regulation time, Heo Mimi received two jidos and Deguchi received one. The match went into overtime. Deguchi received her second jido at around 1 minute and 48 seconds into overtime. After that, at around 2 minutes and 35 seconds into the overtime, Heo Mi-mi received another map, and the match was decided.

The referee ruled that Hermi had ‘fake attack’ when she had no real intention of attacking. When you ‘defense attack’ to avoid an unfavorable situation, you are given guidance on fake attack.

Deguchi, who won the gold medal, pointed out the ambiguity of the fake attack judgment at a press conference held after the awards ceremony that day. According to an interview posted on ‘My Info’, the official information provider site of the organizing committee of the competition, Deguchi started off by saying, “It’s a very difficult question” when asked about the judgment in the final.

He responded, “I have nothing to say about the judgment, but it needs to change for the next step in judo.” He added, “Judo has changed a lot in the past three years, but I think it needs to change for judo to take the next step.”

Jo Gu-ham, a commentator on SBS and a former member of the national judo team, found the judge’s judgment questionable. Jo said, “Deguchi needs to be given a warning. Deguchi is intentionally preventing me from grabbing the right collar. That’s a foul,” and added, “Why are you giving a warning to Heo Mi-mi? Heo Mi-mi is more aggressive.” Kim Mi-jung, the head coach of the Korean women’s judo team, also said, “I didn’t try to do a fake attack. He explained, “I think the referee made that decision because my original technique was to sit down and do it,” and “In the end, I didn’t just sit down and stay still, but kept getting up and attacking.” He added, “I think the third map can be different depending on the perspective. I wonder what it would have been like if we had been coached together since the Canadian player was barely able to attack.” 토토사이트
