Karate World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships to be held as planned despite unrest

 

 

The World Karate Federation has announced that the 2019 World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships in Santiago (Chile) will be celebrated as scheduled despite the situation of social unrest in the country. 

 

Karate’s international governing body will be hosting the most important underage competition of the sport as planned after receiving confirmation from the Chilean authorities that conditions for the normal progress of the tournament were assured.  

 

The 2019 World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships are scheduled to take place in Santiago from Wednesday, October 23 to Sunday, October 27.

 

The Chilean National Karate federation, in constant communication with top sports authorities in the country, received official confirmation from their government that participants and staff members’ safety ahead of the event was guaranteed. 

 

The wellbeing of all the members of the Karate family taking part at the World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships in Santiago is our main concern.

Since the Chilean government has made clear that the event could be held as expected, we will continue with the anticipated celebration of underage sport that is our World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships,” said WKF President Antonio Espinós. 

 

The Chilean government declared a state of emergency in parts of Santiago early Saturday after riots broke around the capital.

 

The protests began on Monday over an increase in metro fares but morphed into extended protests.

World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships competition calendar modified

 

 

Due to the special circumstances in Chile, the World Karate Federation has announced that the competition calendar of the upcoming World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships has been amended

 

The modification aims at adapting the event to the unusual situation in the country as well as guaranteeing the well-being of competitors and staff members, and ensuring the normal progress of the competition. 

 

Following the decision taken by the WKF Executive Committee today, each competition day will be centred on only one category, with finals and medal ceremonies being held on the same day.

 

Therefore, the competition will be organised as follows

 

- Wednesday: Individual Kata 

- Thursday: Cadet Kumite

- Friday: Junior Kumite 

- Saturday: U21 Male Kumite 

- Sunday: U21 Female Kumite and Team Kata 

 

HERE is the modified competition calendar:

Live streaming of World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships cancelled

 

 

The World Karate Federation announced today that the live streaming of the World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships being held in Santiago (Chile) has been cancelled due to the unusual circumstances in the country. 

 

Karate’s international governing body decided to cancel the live streaming of the event due to the special conditions affecting the country in the past days.

 

The Chilean government declared a state of emergency in Santiago early Saturday after riots broke around the capital.

 

The protests began on Monday and spread over different areas of the city and other regions of the country. 

 

Due to the difficulties in securing the connections and logistics that are required to produce the trade-mark high-quality live streaming of WKF events, the World Karate Federation decided to abandon its plans to broadcast the event live on its YouTube channel. 

 

The WKF regrets the inconveniences caused by this decision and encourage fans to follow the event on WKF social media channels.

 

The WKF will provide timely information on the championships on its Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages

Shame on them! :facepalm::wall::thumbdown::spank:

 

If they couldn't provide an excellent media coverage of the tournament because of the environmental conditions, they should have moved it to another place or date or, if necessary, even cancel this year's championship!

 

and then they still cry because they've been thrown out of the Olympics! :whistle:

I often disagree when blaming federations, but not here...it's hardly their fault when a country goes to shit and cancelling an event so shortly before it's planned isn't always a great plan neither..

I don't know if Slovakia has a finalist because the live streaming has been cancelled or if the streaming has been cancelled because Slovakia has a finalist? :mumble::yikes::rofl::facepalm:

    • Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)  
    • That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening  
    • Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.  
    • Got our first competition of the season coming up in Solitude, Utah  this weekend.  Live on Discovery Plus etc, plus also YouTube and the Olympic Channel.  If you are new to the sport, the sprint races on Saturday will be the format you'll find easy to understand.     ISMF   ISMF Skimo - YouTube    
    • Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
    • @Josh skimo mixed relay is on Saturday, not Sunday, FYI

No Snow League Freeski Finals, Heerenveen Speed Skating WC, Alpine Skiing WC either. 
    • Oh dear oh dear.  Going to be ructions with this one.  Established international diver Sofia Lyskun wants to transfer from..... to !     Somehow I think the three year rule will be enforced.   Sofiia Lyskun: Ukrainian federation 'expresses deep indignation' after champion diver switches to Russia - BBC Sport
