Random Thought Thread

I've seen various videos posted to the forums I'm on, but even with the breakdancing, I've just seem the comments and videos that were posted about it.

*** one in particular, that showed me how laughable breakdancing is as an Olympic sport, was posted on another forum, of the Japanese kid, Hiro, vs Victor from the US. The Japanese kid performed some incredibly difficult stunts, requiring extreme athleticism, yet they gave the win to Victor, whose performance didn't involve any tricks or moves of that caliber/difficulty, over whatever subjective criteria they used in judging.

There was only ONE video that I actually searched for, and couldn't find (they've been VERY prompt about taking the video down anytime it's posted somewhere), and that was the Tajik judoka who refused to shake the hand of his Israeli opponent, at the end of the match, then had his arm broken in the next match by the Japanese fighter who won Gold.

Some folks mentioned that it was karma. Some said that the Japanese judoka deliberately broke the Tajik's arm for showing disrespect to the sport, but people who have judo experience simply said that the Japanese judoka (who's very skilled and has won previous titles), simply executed a good throw, and the Tajik stuck out his arm to try to avoid the opponent winning by ippon, in effect, breaking his own arm (and something even beginners are explicitly warned not to do, BECAUSE of the high potential of injuring your own arm).

Still haven't managed to find a viewable clip of the throw, ro see for myself (there ARE throws in judo, that pose a significantly higher risk of injury to the uke/person being thrown, and certain ways to modify/execute a throw, that also increases the risk of severe injury. I wanted to see for myself, which category this incident fell into).
