Great results by Japan's judo


All the judo events at Rio has finished.

Look at the following result of Japanese!



At almost all the classes, they got medals!
Especially, men didn't miss any class!!

However, Japanese judoists who missed a gold medal show their disappointment. It's a usual scene, because getting a gold medal is considered as their mission or vital thing.
I often hear Japanese judoists say that "anything other than a gold medal is all the same" or "there is a world of difference between gold and silver."
There is some kind of tragic atmosphere among them, and I don't like it.

There are many many judoists all over the world. Becoming TOP 3 among them is incredibly outstanding thing. I want them to congratulate themselves and praise their own effort they have been making in the past.

Also, I think showing disappointment is something like blasphemy toward silver and bronze medals. Please respect silver and bronze medals more.
