@hckošice 

it was really close! but not quite...

 Suchankova had the day of her life until the semifinal bout, destroying each and every opponent she faced, but then she missed out the chance to earn a spot in the Gold Medal match against the great Serbian, Prekovic...

still, she's going to fight for Bronze on Saturday (morning)...

Cool. Finally a chance to qualify for Paris 2024 ...oh wait

 Ahlam Youssef qualified to women's -55 kg final , she looks really humble and down to earth , karate is a very nice sport where u see people from differenct back grounds and financial positions taking part just like taekwondo i think

and it's "triplete" of Gold Medal matches also for Italy (actually, Egypt now have 4)...

 

in fact, Angelo Crescenzo will defend his world title on saturday afternoon after having eliminated all of his opponents (his arch-rival  Eray Samdan included) in a crescendo of emotions...

[phelps 7,678]

and the last event of the day...

 

Women's Individual Kumite, -50kg

Gold Medal Match: Shara Hubrich vs Miho Miyahara
Bronze Medal Match #1: Moldir Zhangbyrbay vs TBD (ALG/AUT/UKR/SCO)
Bronze Medal Match #2: Chaimae El Hayty vs TBD (HKG/EGY/AUS)

 

 

I don't know why, but the video only shows the second semifinal between JPN and MAR (GER vs KAZ is missing)...

So Egypt will compete for 4 Gold medals and 2 bronzes overall very good result indeed especially that our team is really new at least half of them participating for the 1st time in WCH

Egyptian karate federation announced that Ahlam Yousef already won women's -55 kg Gold as jury decided that American player can't play the final as she was severely injured during Semi final match

Sad news (not that the Egyptian won, just the American being severely injured, of course)...

 

Hope the American girl (one of the most surprising finalists of the whole competition) can recover in full and quite quickly...

but there's nothing official from WKF or even USA karate page who posted this from 7 hours 

 

 

the initial decision actually from WKF was that Luxembourg player won the marth , but then USA karate protested and they accepted this protest
