Here is even better video from the same match filmed by Pete Korhonen (Not me) Men's Final

What rank are they?

[ne0r]

There has to be a lot of pressure on them; unfortunately they get a lot into tsubazeriai because of this, I believe.

[Super Kodachi2]

I believe Monsieur Sicart is Yondan or Godan?

I'm not sure about Mr Dubi.

At this level and at such an important match Tsuberzeriai is to be expected, neither wants to give away an opportunity.

Its very similar in All Japan matches in that respect.

But when they do attack they give it their all. Some lovely Ippon by Dubi, great Kote.

[Curtis]

Color me impressed.

I think the shinpan should have called wakare to keep the flow of the match going smoothly.

[Mr.Tvola]

I think Sandor Dubi is 4th dan.

[Keegs]

Good video but why do people insist on clapping when anyone does anything?

[Girubatto]

How about to cheer for their teammates? Since you are only allowed to scream: gambatte and fighto! You arent going to scream gambatte and fighto ALL of the time, so you clap! Besides that, i know from own experience that when somebody tries to go for an ippon and its not that perfect, if people cheer really hard the ippon has a slightly bigger chance of being given by the shimpan.

Actually, you are not allowed to shout anything (although someone should tell the French coach that), hence the clapping. This was emphasized in the Team Managers briefing.

I was told number of 7th dan senseis that we should clap really loud to cheer your teammate. You are not allowed to scream though.. Can anyone confirm this ?

Erhh..I just did in the post you quoted.

Dubi form n kendo looks like eiga sensei ,very erect left leg and taller posture and sicart is closer to mizayaki ,a low crouching seme with bent left knee...

for a moment i thought i was watching the AJKC finals ;D
