It should have been Darbelets ippon?

En direct du Club France
Darbelet : "Cette médaille efface les défaites"


Darbelet said,"Je n'ai pas envie de parler des problèmes." or "I don't want to tell about the trouble." in English.

Japan's Masato Uchishiba wins 2nd straight gold in 66-kg division at Beijing Olympics

After having been carried off his left heel by the opponets'right hand, Uchishiba fell flat on his back with Darbelet's neck in his left arm, but the referee missed it and made a big mistake??

In the following thread this issue is hotly debated:

Allow me to share some thoughts from my perspective as an IJF Continental Referee: At around the 2:07 mark of the video, I believe Uchishiba should have gotten a penalty for a false attack-what seemed like an attemp at ippon seoinage which turned into an “inducing to newaza” situation. At the 2:30 mark, Darbelet executes an ouchigari and both competitors are on their feet; it should have been awarded an ippon, and the victory should have gone to Darbelet. In fairness to the referee and judges, the action was so fast it would have been difficult to detect at the exact instant it occurred. Nevertheless, I’m of the opinion Darbelet scored before Uchishiba did."

Uchishiba was the most tecnical player. But it was Darbelets ippon. You can see that Ben lift up Uchishibas left leg and throw him with a left o-ochi-gari"
