Here’s Part 2 of Shintaro and Peter’s Paris Olympics Judo recap! Shintaro and Peter talk about Abe Hifumi’s dominant performance, Hashimoto’s bronze medal, brutal final between Heydarov and Gaba, Nagase’s masterclass performance, and an exciting match between Murao and Bekauri. Shintaro and Peter then look into the statistics of Judo at the Paris Olympics, exploring whether the increase in shidos is harming the sport or if it's just a reflection of the evolving strategies in high-level judo.
