Che cosa significa "Judges grenaded their credibility."
My question is, the word ”grenade", isn't this a noun? 　this word is used as a verb here.
A live commentator of half-pipe in the Olympic game said this sentence when he completely disagreed with the score given. ?

Yes!!exactly!!
it is about Ayumu Hirano's score!!
Wow it's very nice to know that you actually heard the same live commentary:)
Now i got the idea. "completely destroy“
I see. Thank you very much!!

@SyLambert
“verbing"
that's a new word for me!(^｡^)
I've just looked up “tank" and knew you use this word as a verb, too!

I learned a lot!!!
Thank yo very much!!

@soupdumpling
yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that commentary, too!!
It was awesome that he made it!!
They gave him that gold for real.
He is a star here in Japan now.
It was so exciting!(^o^)

@soupdumpling

Japanese commentators, they were more like shocked, or like were stunned.
I really wanted them to be more "hopping mad" like the American commentator.
well, of course a lot of Japanese people got angry about the score!!!

Actually, this is very Japanese thing, but, this announcer was explaining all of Hirano's performance, every single detail precisely, like the names of techniques or angles or like how high he flies, just everything. He should have studied a lot about half-pipe. It was awesome.
And people admired him that he is another one who should receive a gold medal :)

But me,personally, i love this Korean commentator's comment. He said
"When he does the triple coke, he doesn't fly with his height, he flies with his heart!"
height and heart rhyme in Korean (Japanese too) it was so cool!!!

@soupdumpling
You know Japanese, cool!!!
Thank you for asking me about Japanese:)

height is 身長(しんちょうshinchou)
heart is 心臓(しんぞうshinzou)

高さsimply means height of things, and 身長(shinchou)means people's height only, how tall the person is.

And 心臓(shinzou)means the heart as an organ. In Japanese, when we want to say "he is mentally strong" we say “心臓が強い"which can be translated like "His heart(as an organ)is strong."
So, this heart used here is not 心, but an organ heart.

In Korean, the sound of 身長is sinjang, 心臓is simjang. They rhyme too(^^)

@soupdumpling
your Japanese is amazing!!
I had a great chat with you, too!!
楽しかったですね！
ありがとうございます(^o^)
