all news websites in Iran are reporting that one of our "biggest names" in this sport who was supposed to be the gold medal contender in Tokyo is tested positive for doping. as usual they claim he just took some medicines without consulting with the doctors.

 

we were supposed to have 3 strong gold medal contenders in Tokyo, while they didn't mention a name , I believe I know who is that athlete. but I'm not going to write it here because it's not official.

 

well well. the whole Karate qualification process was a mixture of bad luck and bad results for Iran and this is the last nail to the coffin. so instead of having 8 athletes in Tokyo. we will end up with just 3.

That`s really unfortunate. And I am not quite sure what will happen if he/she is really banned from the Olympics.

As it is a "big" name I assume that he/she is qualified as Top4. Who will get a ticket in this case? Place 4 of the qualification tournament?

Will there be a re-run of the continental quota procedure? Tripartite invitation? What a mess...

in case you are not familiar with Round Robin competitions in Karate, that rule "Hantei" doesn't exist here. if they finish 0-0 that will be counted as a draw. but senshu still exists, so it's possible to win a match 1-1.

the first tie breaker is head to head but the next one is the total number of points you score.

 

but having a round robin competition in Kata is interesting. they have to perform 3 different Katas for these 3 matches. they have to decide when and against who perform their favorite Kata. if that was me I would use my best Kata against the weaker opponent here. because one win is probably enough for you to qualify.

It seems that this is not what Jasmin Jüttner did...best score in all three rounds and loosing against the French in the first final match

so here we go

 

Bozan and Juettner are already qualified for the final round

 

these 2 matches will determine the two other athletes for the final round

 

Sadeghi vs Putri

Feracci vs Chien

Jüttner is really strong today. Best result in all three rounds.

[Mecki83 155]

Second round also finished.

 

Top4 have been:

Jasmin Jüttner 26.00

Fatemeh Sadeghi Dastak 25.46

Sanae Agalmam 25.28

Krisda Putri Aprilia 24.68

 

 

[Mecki83 155]

Kata is obviously more predictable than Kumite.

 

Best results in first round were:

Jasmin Jüttner   24.46

Sadeghi Dastak Fatemeh 24.28

Alexandrea Anacan 24.20

Dilara Bozan 24.08

 

Let`s see what will happen in the semis

The final with Messerschmidt is tomorrow in the early afternoon.

Thanks. Was a bit confused because MHSN wrote "will be decided tomorrow" so I checked for the wrong day

[Mecki83 155]

Somehow I am unable to find the starting times for the finals.

brackets are up

 

Arkania and Horne are in the same pool and will meet in the QF , that will settle the Olympic spot (even though it's still possible for both of them to qualify)

Horne wins quarterfinale with 8-0 vs Arkania.

because they still have the score of the European Champs 2019, which will be deleted once they add the upcoming edition in a couple of weeks...

 

meanwhile @MHSN has already calculated the true score without that event from 2019...

ah great. thank you for the explanation. already thought that "our" numbers give a better picture of the actual ranking.

Points for the remaining quotas after the end of K1 League in Portugal . only European Championship is left now

 

Men's 84kg:

Zabihollah Poursheib - 10215

Ugur Aktas - 9952.5 Q

Ivan Kvesic - 6547.5

 

Men's +84kg:

Sajjad Ganjzadeh - 9187.5

Jonathan Horne - 7642.5

Gogita Arkania - 7620

 

Arkania and Horne will fight for the 2nd place at the +84kg, whoever finishes higher will qualify for sure.

Ugur Aktas will decide everything here, Kvesic, Poursheib and Ganjzadeh can't do anything except watching Aktas !

 

======================

 

Women's 55kg:

Wen Tzu-Yun - 7110

Jana Messerschmidt - 6247.5

 

Messerschmidt can qualify only by winning the gold in Europe.

 

======================

Women's 68kg

Gong Li - 7402.5

Elena Quirici - 6525

 

Quirici has to win the gold to qualify

======================

 

Women's +68kg

Meltem Hocaoglu - 6097.5

Eleni Chatziliadou - 5355

with 742.5 pts gap between them. and knowing the Turks can add 30pts just by participating, Chatziliadou has to win the gold and hoping for Hocaoglu to get eliminated very very early.

Hi. The updated ranking on the wkf site has a bit different numbers.

For example Ugur Aktas is already ahead of Poursheib. Do you have an idea where these differences come from?
