My roommate mangled his knee bad at a Judo tourney this weekend, here's the vid, start watching at 14 sec

Makes me cringe, if you watch in slow motion you can hear 3 distinct popping sounds
oh man :(
thanks for the embed +1
He'll find out the extent of the injury on Friday when he gets an MRI on the knee, needless to say he's expecting surgery and a long road of rehab
ouch...good luck to him
Man that's rough. Hope for a speedy recovery 
Judo is rough as fuck. Anybody training judo knows, fingers, ankles, toes... shit gets wrecked regularly. It's a tough sport.
Damn, did I just hear the knee pop/crunch or was this my imagination?
Hope he has a super fast recovery. I Feel really bad for him. But he'll be a trooper I'm sure.
It looks like opponent took it kind of hard too. Nice to see someone who isn't gloating or celebrating over hurting a fellow competitor.

This. I was constantly injured in some way literally the entire time I trained in Judo. Luckily, no serious knee injuries. Definitely some close calls...
I tore my Meniscus really bad at Judo.
second time watching took me to see the leg twist.
Seriously though, knee's fucking suck. Blew mine out in BJJ a couple years back and it has never been the same. Walking with a limp when your 26 eats shit sandwiches all day.
It was an interesting match.
Props to both players not wasting time before attacking once they closed distance.
I was there watching it happen and heard the pop and scream and pretty much knew at that point that it was a terrible injury, would never wish that on 'my worst enemy'

Unfortunately was not your imagination :(
His opponent did feel really bad, the Judo community is pretty small around here so they knew each other prior to the match, they talked for a while afterwards and there's no hard feelings.
MRI results are in
completely severed ACL
Grade 3 sprained MCL
no cartilage damage or any other major damage
goes in for a surgery consult in a week
