Olympic Judo

Olympic Judo contests last five minutes, with scores awarded for different throws and holds. However, a contest ends immediately if a competitor is awarded ‘ippon’ – the maximum score. If the scores are tied after five minutes, the contest enters a golden score period, when the first score of any sort wins. Olympic Judo is a sport for which athletes are called upon to use an complicated mix of attack and defence. Olympic Judo is a regular part since 1964 as a medal sport at the Olympic Games at Tokyo. A women’s contest was finally added to the Olympic programme at Barcelona in 1992.

The traditional rules of judo are intended provide a basis under which to test skill in Judo, while avoiding significant risk of injury to the competitors.Penalties may be given for being inactive during the match, or for using illegal techniques. Fighting must be stopped if a participant is outside the designated area on the mat.If the referee and judges need to discuss something during groundwork, the referee will call soon-mama (used in the sense "do not move", literally "as-is") and both fighters must stop in the position they are in. When they are done, the referee says Yoshi and the match continues.

Judo scoreboards show the number of waza-ari and yuko scores scored by each player. Electronic scoreboards also usually include timers for measuring both competition time and osaekomi time.The first penalty is a warning, which is noted on the scoreboard. The second penalty is scored as "yuko" for the opponent. The third penalty is scored as "waza-ari". The fourth penalty is called "hansoku make," and is scored as an "ippon" for the opponent. With a "hansoku make" the match ends permanently. One can also get a direct "hansoku make" for serious rule violations. In this case, the player who got "hansoku make" is disqualified from the tournament.
