After a close encounter in the quarter-final of the men's -66kg category between Japan's Ebinuma Masashi and South Korea's Cho Jun-Ho, the referee and judges on the mat raised their blue flags to indicate Cho had won .Cho began punching the air in delight, but the arena at London's ExCel Centre erupted in derision with the disgusted Japanese coach looking utterly flabbergasted. The result was referred to a reviewing commission and they ruled that Masashi should be the winner.
Nicolas Messner, spokesman for governing body the International Judo Federation, said it was the first time the referee and judges had been overruled on a flag decision.
