Great clips, thanks. Oh, to have the height of Italian member no. 3 (not a Chiba Sensei-trained jodan-ka, right?).... Sigh.

Tort Speed,maybe you are speaking of Edwig Soldati, if I remember correctly he is a student of Pomero sensei (team italy coach), a quite famous jodan player (Pomero sensei taken his 7th dan doing jigeiko in jodan)

The quarterfinals were great, if you manage to find a clip of Hungary vs Brazil that was a great match to.

Interesting call on that second point in the fukusho match.....

It's hard to see on the video but I saw i IRL and I can't recall that I had any doubts about that particular decision. That doesn't mean that I remember it right though...
