Dominating performance by Egypt and Jordan, with Russia also getting many medals (especially in the U-14 division) and Ukraine being a powerhouse in the women's Cadet division...

 

for Italy, very good results in the women's Junior Kumite lighter weights and in all the Kata events, as usual...

 

as always happens in Karate, however, a lot of Nations are on the final medal table...

Iran's Youth Olympics Gold medalist Navid Mohammadi died today morning in a car accident at the age of 18

 

 

this week in general was tragic for our Karate, Fatemeh Chalaki , two times Asian Games bronze medalist and multiple times Premiere League medalists had another serious car accident and she will most probably lose one of her eyes we won't see her on Tatami anymore.

Oh, not the answer I expected. So she’s a true  competitor then? That’s awesome.
