Iran has 1 gold. Japan has 4 but I don't complain if you keep it this way. after all we lost two finals by walkover. we probably deserved one more gold

in all the other bouts I've watched I haven't seen any shameful and suspicious misdemeanor, just a few close calls that could easily have gone the other way round...but in those cases you can't call them scandals or robberies for sure...

 

I think the main thing here is "trust" even though I'm no expert in officiating Karate but I know few rules at least and I never fell there is systematic corruption here. there are bad calls here and there. the host nation usually got lucky which happens in every sport (still wrong though but that's tolerable) but I trust the whole officiating system. I can say the same about Judo and nowadays Taekwondo. while in wrestling there are indeed systematic corruption in favor of certain countries. when there is no trust you complain about every single decision (even if some of them aren't that wrong) and boxing is even worse than wrestling

@mrv86 Sachiko Paulina Ramos Akita won the Bronze Medal in the women's -68kg...

This is great news, probably our best result in a karate competition in more than a decade

well, the girl is a really promising talent...she was Sub-21 World Champion last year (if I remember well what our commentator said...I'm too lazy to check it out right now)...

Wow I didn't remember that achievement, but then I must follow her more closely.

I've just checked it out...and actually she won the Bronze Medal, not Gold (still, that's an important result and doesn't change her -really good- perspective...the other Bronze medal at the 2017 U-21 Worlds went to Egypt's Feryal Abdelaziz, another established player in that category, meaning that the starting field for that event was very competitive)...
