Judo Women's 52kg Gold Medal Contest - Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games



at 2:09 i stopped the video to look again at your most helpful post ..

"A-Z of Paralympic classification

The 2012 Paralympics in London involves 20 sports but not all disability categories can compete in each event.

Each sport has different physical demands and so has its own set of classifications.

JUDO

Judo is contested by visually impaired athletes only. There is no categorisation
as competitors are divided by weight in the same way as able-bodied athletes.

The main difference is that athletes begin the bout "gripped up" (holding each other) rather than apart.

LOL .. OK! .. it HAD to be "visually impaired" .. lol .. by the
2:09 that was the only option possible as far as i could see.



It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
