Synopsis

On this page, there are two images of two contestants in a Paralympic judo match. Both of them are blind. Textured mats (tatami) are used on the floor to help the contestants position themselves. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.The opponents grip fighting (kumi kata) (left) - In this image, the contestants are seen from the side facing each other. Each of them has two legs and one arm visible. They are at the start of the match and each of them is trying to get a good grip on his opponent's clothing; this is a vitally important section of a contest. They each wear a different coloured uniform: the contestant to the left wears blue and the one to right wears white. The contestant to the left is standing, facing to the right so only one of his eyes can be found. His head, which is bald, is on the top left of the image. Down from his head is his shoulder and arm reaching out to the right, trying to grip his opponent's lapel. Down from his shoulder is his trunk, his belt, and legs continuing down to his feet at the bottom of the page. The other contestant is seen from the side and facing to the left. He has lost an eye. His head is in the top right of the image and down the page is his shoulder. His arm reaches out to the left attempting to get a grip on his opponent's sleeve. Down from his shoulder you can find his trunk, his belt and his two legs continuing down to his feet at the bottom of the page.A contestant throwing his opponent with an okuro-ashi-barai (right) - In this image, the same contestants are continuing the match. The contestant in the white uniform has thrown his opponent with an okuro-ashi-barai (a foot sweep) The white-uniformed contestant stands facing you. His head is near the top right of the image. Down from his head are his shoulders. His arms extend down the page to his elbows, and then turn towards his chest where they grip one of his opponent's arms. Parts of his trunk and legs are obscured by his opponent's body. His feet are both at the bottom of the page. The contestant in the blue uniform is in mid-air having had his legs swept from under him. He is seen from the side with one leg and two arms visible. One of his feet is at the centre left of the image. His leg continues diagonally right, down the page to his bottom.
