2022 Karate European Championships (:TUR Gaziantep)

 

May, 25th through May, 29th

 

Day #1 was maybe one of the most surprising session of Karate I saw in the last few years...

 

Nothing new happened in Kata, as expected, but, man! no one of the Kumite events went according to plan/expectation...:yikes:

 

For Italy, it was basically a disaster, with no gold medal match reached by our guys (even the great Luigi Busà, at his first competition after the Olympic title, couldn't do better than earning a miserable -for his standard- bronze medal match, losing to the most improbable, unknown Englishman Brian Wilkins in the semifinal match)...

 

we all expected him and the eternal Rafael Aghayev to make us the gift of another chapter of their neverending rivalry (it would have been the highlight of the Championship, of course), but both of them couldn't reach the expected showdown...:facepalm:

 

on the other hand, Slovakia @hckošice Croatia @dcro @prso1000 @ all Croatian friends and Hungary @Vektor @ all Hungarian friends seem to have earned the status of powehouses in this sport :yikes: together with usual suspect and host Nation, Turkey (it's just for this tournament, don't start dreaming too much, guys! :p), reaching 2 gold medal matches each in Kumite events...

 

here's a quick recap of the already determined Gold Medal matches (Saturday, May 28th @ 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. CET):

 

Women's Individual Kata: :ESP Sandra Sanchez Jaime vs :TUR Dilara Bozan
Men's Individual Kata: :TUR Alì Sofuoglu vs :ESP Damian Hugo Quintero Capdevila


Women's Individual Kumite, -61kg: :SVK Ingrida Suchankova vs :GER Anna Miggou
Women's Individual Kumite, -68kg: :SVK Miroslava Kopunova vs :TUR Eda Eltemur
Women's Individual Kumite, +68kg: :SRB Ivana Perovic vs :HUN Aicha Zakia Boussebaa


Men's Individual Kumite, -75kg: :TUR Erman Eltemur vs :ENG Brandon Brian Wilkins
Men's Individual Kumite, -84kg: :CRO Enes Garibovic vs :HUN Daniel Gyorgy
Men's Individual Kumite, +84kg: :CRO Andjelo Kvesic vs :BEL Luca Costa

Today's Medallists Recap

 

 

Women's Team Kata

Gold: :ITA Italy
Silver: :ESP Spain
Bronze #1: :TUR Turkey
Bronze #2: :FRA France


Men's Team Kata

Gold: :TUR Turkey

Host Nation :TUR Turkey, as expected, dominated the medal table of this year's European Champs...

 

:FRA France and :ITA Italy won also a lot of medals, but for their big disappointment, they were just minor medals, failing to win an acceptable number of Golds (Italy, actually, didn't win a single "relevant" Gold medal and had a shameful outing in the Kumite team events :facepalm:)...

 

in general, it was a championship rich of of surpring results, with many big names flopping badly...:crazy:

 

Finally, here's the full medal table:

good to see Iranian Karatekas in global events after almost a year. results weren't great but still good with 2 in the final and 3 in bronze medal match,

 

still it was limited to only few athletes in certain weights. :( I wonder if we ever get back to old days of sending 20-30 athletes to K1 events. I wish I knew who makes these super stupid policies.

well, in Serie A events it's still possible...

 

K1PL events nowadays have become very much "elite" tournaments with 32 athletes (max) each...and I don't know if they will ever get back to the old glory days...:dunno:

 

by the way, despite the "moments of glory" of the Tokyo Olympics, Karate here in Italy has gone backwards in terms of media coverage, as our main pay-tv doesn't broadcast anymore even the gold medal matches of the K1PL events and we don't even have any access to the WKF streams, as they're blocked because we have a national tv that bought the tv rights (but they don't use them)...:cry: :facepalm: :hairpull:
