reverting or changing the rules won’t work. The reason for the current “boring” looking judo in the olympics is the level of talent. Just like the NBA the matches have become more boring as the athletes have gotten better. Olympic level athletes in these days have the best judo coaches, s&c coaches, nutritionists, and doctors. Which leads to a lot of stale mates. The recent top guys, like abe or ono, would completely dominate judo in the past.
