Looks like you've got some high level Judo action there. Was there a team from Japan's Tokai University?

Which camera you used, D300 or D3?

[Tiago Rohrsetzer]

I have no clue about what teams were there, maybe that one with the japanese letters were from this place you said... Only thing I knew was the brazilian team ... I am Brazilian ...
Also the Canadian, Great Britain, Germany and some other countries... But sometimes they fought without anything sayind where they were from (which is ridiculous in my point of view, since no one has the order the fights are going to be)
Also I got there after it started and left before it was over, they are there still I think ... I had a lot of things to do... and I couldn't stand that smell anymore... I think they never saw deodorant in their lives...
well.. good experience after all

Yeah, that's what it say on it. Some competitors in my photos are from Tokai University, which is well known in the world of Judo.

Well, this guys with the japanese letters were destroying... really good...
in that picture he actually dislocated the other guy's shoulder... pretty tough ...

Last time I saw them, it was a team led by a former Judo World Champ. 30 something University students and they dominated pretty much everyone.

BTW, USA Judo is webcasting the tournament right now.

[Homer]

These are outstanding. You did a great job capturing the action and isolating the subject from the background.

I would pick #16 for the faces - despite the background it's a very powerful image.
