In discussing rank and age he mentioned that in Japan in 1950 there were 2,700 Judo 6th Dans - -under- the age of 30. The point? We often talk about rank inflation and people obtaining rank too quickly these days. Perhaps we in the West are just now catching up to the East. Yes, being a 9th Dan while only in your 30s seems way out-of-line, but we don't see many 28 or 29 year old 6th Dans even today here in the West. Should we?

Maybe there are some readers of the list who are going to the games and who will have a reasonable camera, maybe even digital. In that case there may be enough demand to create some copies! Or even post it on the web. Any ideas spring to mind.
