THE judo quarterfinal between world champion Masashi Ebinuma and Cho Jun-ho of South Korea descended into farce yesterday after Cho was awarded victory only for his Japanese rival to be declared the winner moments later.
The fight remained level after a five-minute contest plus an extra three minutes of golden score, meaning it went to a judges' decision.
All three judges on the mat awarded the bout to Cho, clad in blue, but the International Judo Federation's Refereeing Commission then intervened.
Following frantic discussions on the sidelines, referees director Juan Carlos Barcos, who had been seen consulting federation president Marius Vizer, called the judges over and told them to change their minds. The three judges then went back onto the mat and having originally all lifted blue flags denoting a Cho victory, this time thrust up three white ones instead.
Ebinuma was declared the winner.
Already, during golden score, the referees commission had overturned the award of a winning score for Ebinuma by the judges.
