2016 Rio Olympics Carioca Arena 2 (CA2): Judo

Judo battles take place at Carioca Arena 2 in the Barra Olympic Park. Judo is a dynamic combat sport that demands both physical prowess and great mental discipline. From a standing position, it involves techniques that allow you to lift and throw your opponents onto their backs. On the ground, it includes techniques that allow you to pin your opponents down to the ground, control them, and apply various choke holds or joint locks until submission.  With two matches going on simultaneously there is plenty of camerawork at any one moment. Each match features seven hard cameras, two RF cameras, a jib camera, and there are two additional RF cameras and two robotic beauty cameras.
