Ronda fought and fought very well. Her only loss was on one of her signature moves (sode tsuri komi goshi) that got countered very neatly by the fighter from Netherlands. The remaining two fights were decidedly Ronda's by virtue of being willing and able and really wanting to kick everybody's butt who was in the way of her and that medal.
I have recorded them and will post them eventually. I have to edit and convert them so that they're not 100+ MB each!
All of our Olympic judo players fought well and fought hard. Not a one gave up when things were tight. Some of their losses came from pressing the attack, but, better to go do fighting than quit while losing.
NBCOlympics.com coverage for judo was good, although I really wish they would make it possible for the next Olympics (whomever is doing the broadcasting online) to view all the mats simultaneously.
