A Gold Medal with a History Attached to it in the Sydney Olympic Judo

  In the 2000 Sydney Olympic, Shinohara Shinichi (Japan) and David Douillet (France) went into the final match for Men's Judo in over 100Kg class. After one and a half minutes from start of the final, Douillet tried to make Uchi-mata against Shinohara. After Shinohara avoided the trick, he made Uchi-mata-sukashi. Douillet is fallen down on his back. However, Douillet got Yoko.
  Many webs in Japanese language have been published to protest the judgment. Many people out of Japan have not known what happend there yet with less information than in Japan. To publish this web, you can have some information to know and consider.
  I am protesting at the follow misjudgments.
  1. The referee had overlooked some violations by Douillet until he got the Yuko.
  2. The referee had overlooked Uchi-mata-sukashi by Shinohara. Shinohara should get a Ippon but he gave Yuko t odouillet. Additionally, Douillet gripped and pulled his enemy's Obi at the time. Douillet broke a rule but the referee overlooked it.
