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...

oh no it's not about WKF rules or being "eligible" to participate. we still had lot more of athletes eligible to participate . (Olympic Champion Ganjzadeh for example)

it's our own "thing" to not participate (or send very limited number of athletes) Iran didn't participate in last World Karate Championship as well. I thought that's temporary but it's almost a year now they are doing the same in Taekwondo as well.

ah, OK...sorry for the misunderstanding...

I hope this sort of "disinterest" would eventually get to an end, sooner or later...and all of your athletes can have their chances to travel the world back as in the past...

It has more to do with politics than disinterest or financial issuses which is also a big problem nowadays. I call it "suicide out of fear of death" policy.

Karate senior season came to an end with last Serie A tournament in :INA Jakarta (unless we consider January's :GRE Athens tournament still part of the 2022 season, which looks like WKF does).

Participation was, as expected, very poor, to say the least.

However, this is how it went:

and Iran bronze medalist in 2nd pic is Mobina Heidari and silver medalist in the last one is Mehdi Khodabakhshi (not the taekwondo athlete)

yes Russia hosted few international events in other sports (including lots of events in wrestling) to keep their athletes in shape. but I assume this so-called "Grand Prix" in Karate was high level comparing to other sports.
