Derafshipour had couple wins on Hantei but he ran out of luck in semifinal against France. he will fight for bronze. so far 4 out of 4 made it to the medal round in men's kumite, 2 for gold ,2 for bronze. the last one is the defending World Champion Amir Mehdizadeh.

 

but the female team is really bad here. 3 out of 4 lost in the first round ! only Alipour could go to the QF where she lost to China and since China made it to the final she will be alive in repechage. still not a great chance for her.

 

well, if you look at Yin's route to the final, you could even be a little optimistic...

the repechage bracket on her side is LAT vs POL, the winner vs MAR, then comes Alipour...and if she wins her repechage bout, then she's in the Bronze Medal match vs Pasqua (ITA), who's at her 1st international medal round since 2015 Serie A meet in Salzburg (and she only won a world bronze in 2014, then nothing anymore)...

 

by the way, today's we're having a lot of surprises...much more than yesterday...

oh, boy...this is painful (and shameful)...Sara Cardin (women's -55kg) lost the pool final against an unknow Polish girl...

so, probably she won't even make the repechage bracket...

oh yeah the website sucks but I got some results from Iran Karate federation page, they say the Iranian girl is back in repechage since Yin made it to the final.

Jana Bitsch vs Valeriia Alekhina and Sara Yamada vs Dorota Banaszczyk are the women's -55kg semifinals...

 

we need a miracle from the Polish girl, but frankly I'm hopeless...

[phelps 7,746]

to be noticed how Russia were almost not existing in Karate until it didn't become an Olympic Sport...

now they're improving fast and furious and they're altready getting better results than ever before...

[phelps 7,746]

yess...Crescenzo (men's -60kg) won against the always dangerous Firzaliyev of AZE and now he's in the pool semifinals...

meanwhile the bout of this class between Medhizadeh (IRI) and Samdan (TUR) started...unfortunately it doesn't have any tv coverage...

well that miracle just happened, she beat Yamada on Hantei and screamed like hell after the win it will be Germany vs Poland in the final

[phelps 7,746]

man, this is just unbelievable...the Polish girl in the -55kg won her semifinal against Yamada (JPN) at the Hantei (judges' decision)...

I'd have never thought something like this could happen...

better for Italy...

however, it was 2 minutes of nothing...I don't really know how could Cardin lose against this girl (with all respect for her)...
