Are you sure there will be 5 weight divisions per gender in Kumite? Didn't they talk about 3 weight divisions?

" The individual tournament for the Kumite competition at the World Karate Federation (WKF) Karate World Championships is held under a weight class system comprising five divisions for both men and women. 
Weight classes for men: −60 kg, −67 kg, −75 kg, −84 kg, and +84 kg
Weight classes for women: −50 kg, −55 kg, −61 kg, −68 kg, and +68 kg "

That's the WC not the Olympics

Putin = Poutine

Surfing = Surfine

 

Canadian English is weird.

 

Surfing sounds stupid to me but let's give it a chance at least. I think it will be good craic anyway.

What about skateboarding. Park competition and street competition? I guess surrounding is really important

Hmm... I think that you might be right. But eight is still too many

Really there should be 0.

Not necessarily. The gender equality question May make some noticable changes in several sports.

Yep. AIBA wants two more for women, IWF wants to move to 8 even per gender and I also think ITU is pushing for a mixed relay.
