The last seconds of Higashinaga's victorious shiai (2nd vid), the fall of Ohishi, is awesome. But why was the ippon given for only one hansoku?

*Ohishi -> Oishi

There was 2 Hansoku for Ohishi in fact... Somebody in the crowd kicked the tripod and the camera, so we lost about 10 seconds of shiai, which are not on the video... Bad luck, it was at the time of the first Hansoku

Does KW have more videos of Takanabe in this tournament besides the QF3 match? The ZNKR videos aren't ah...as easy on the eyes should I say?

Unfortunately we don't. Only shot videos from quarterfinals onwards.

Did Higashinaga also use his feet to force Oishi out of the boundary? From the video it looks like that's what he did. Is that allowed??

[Alex]

It was a fair push, not violent. Oishi was off-balance, and it was entirely his own fault because he strolled towards the line and wasn't even aware he was on it until it was too late. Besides, although it is hard to see from this angle, Oishi actually momentarily grabbed hold of his blade, so it would be hansoku anyway. In fact, that may be the actual reason.

Ah well, thanks. They are nice videos and those of us who aren't lucky enough to be there sure appreciate your work.
