phelps 6,537 Posted May 25, 2022 Author #22 Share Posted May 25, 2022 2022 Karate European Championships ( 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... 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... 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 together with usual suspect and host Nation, Turkey (it's just for this tournament, don't start dreaming too much, guys! ), 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: Sandra Sanchez Jaime vs Dilara Bozan Men's Individual Kata: Alì Sofuoglu vs Damian Hugo Quintero Capdevila Women's Individual Kumite, -61kg: Ingrida Suchankova vs Anna Miggou Women's Individual Kumite, -68kg: Miroslava Kopunova vs Eda Eltemur Women's Individual Kumite, +68kg: Ivana Perovic vs Aicha Zakia Boussebaa Men's Individual Kumite, -75kg: Erman Eltemur vs Brandon Brian Wilkins Men's Individual Kumite, -84kg: Enes Garibovic vs Daniel Gyorgy Men's Individual Kumite, +84kg: Andjelo Kvesic vs Luca Costa hckošice and prso1000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,537 Posted May 26, 2022 Author #23 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Day #2 in Gaziantep and despite some more predictable results, we have the biggest surprise of them all, Steven Dacosta not making the gold medal match in the men's -67kg class... here are Today's events Gold Medal match (I remember that the Medal sessions for yesterday and today's events are scheduled for Saturday at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. CET): Women's Team Kata: Spain vs Italy Men's Team Kata: Turkey vs Spain Women's Individual Kumite, -50kg: Serap Ozcelik Arapoglu vs Erminia Perfetto Women's Individual Kumite, -55kg: Anzhelika Terliuga vs Ivet Goranova Men's Individual Kumite, -60kg: Angelo Crescenzo vs Eray Samdan Men's Individual Kumite, -67kg: Burak Uygur vs Dionysios Xenos for Italy, finally, a decent day, with 3 gold medal matches earned by our guys (one useless, but still)...

phelps 6,537 Posted May 29, 2022 Author #26 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Day #5 (final) in Gaziantep Today's Medallists Recap Women's Team Kata Gold: Italy Silver: Spain Bronze #1: Turkey Bronze #2: France Men's Team Kata Gold: Turkey Silver: Spain Bronze #1: Italy Bronze #2: Azerbaijan Men's Team Kumite Gold: France Silver: Azerbaijan Bronze #1: Greece Bronze #2: Ukraine Host Nation Turkey, as expected, dominated the medal table of this year's European Champs... France and 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 )... in general, it was a championship rich of of surpring results, with many big names flopping badly...

MHSN 3,047 Posted September 4, 2022 #29 Share Posted September 4, 2022 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. phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... 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)...
