david has spoken about similar incidents in the past. this is actually a very common occurrence in judo/jiu jitsu matches at high levels, and especially in judo because it is so competitive. the reason you arent supposed to let go till the referee stops you is because if you release before the ref steps in, your opponent may be able to deny tapping out if the referee didnt get a clear view. this is why they hold on. people in these tournaments get injured regularly, mostly due to bad referees. also, i know for a fact that some people enjoy injuring their opponents on purpose. i had a very well known, and very accomplished judoka who coached the olympic team tell me str8 up that he has broken peoples arms in judo tournaments simply because he felt like it. make no mistake about it, competing in judo/jiu jitsu tournaments is dangerous. even at lower levels, we had a guy who trains with us get his arm broken completely in half from a bicep slicer instantly, that move isnt even allowed in jiu jitsu tournaments. the dude went into shock and was out of training for like a year. by entering a judo/jiu jitsu tournament you run a pretty decent risk of getting injured, thats the bottom line.
