One GMM and one BMM for :ITA

 

but these team events are useless to me (especially Kata) :whistle:

 

I just don't feel the same enthusiasm as for the Kumite events :pope:

Heh, amusingly if there is one karate event I'd like to see in the Olympics it would be the team kata xD

 

Kumite I couldn't care less for.

Kata* is just like watching Rhythmic Gymnastics and Artistic Swimming...it goes from boring to farcical...it's not even a sport, just entertainment...and not the kind I usually like :p

 

*and it's the same for all the Martial Arts, not only in Karate

and the :ITA disaster continues...:hairpull:

 

both the women and men's teams (the boys are the reigning champions) in Kumite have already been eliminated in the early rounds (even if the men could still enter the repechage for bronze if :JOR make it through to the GMM -currently they are playing their semifinal match vs :AZE)

high drama in the men's -75kg Kumite Gold Medal match, as local hero Gabor Harspataki was 3-2 down with a few seconds left when he looked to have pulled out a miracle and found a 3-point projection that would have given him the Gold Medal

 

but unfortunately for him, the final action came just outside the time limit, when the clock already had all 0s on and therefore :EGY Abdelaziz saved himself and won the gold medal

 

among the women, 3rd world title for :AZE Zaretska, but tbh it was quite a robbery, given what happened in the last 15 seconds of the match, when Quirici was denied at least 2 good yuko (the scored was tied 4-4 at that moment) that would have put her ahead with very few seconds left on the clock, before Zaretska scored the final point

so, just 1 silver and 3 bronze medals (2 in Kumite) for :ITA

 

and Tomorrow's team events won't change the general perspective of this championship for us: it's the worst performance since a very, very long time

 

a true disappointment, especially by the most consolidated "names" among our Kumite specialists :facepalm: :hairpull:

 

 

more in general, we had another match ended with high drama like in the first session of the day: the great :FRA Steven Dacosta saved himself the gold medal exactly like Abdelaziz earlier, thanks to the final hit by :MNE Dulovic coming a fraction of a second too late :cry:

 

 

Tomorrow the World Championships end with the Team Events medal matches

the Individual events are over...and :EGY:FRA:JPN and :TUR all have won 2 Gold medals, meanwhile the remaining 4 titles went to :AZE:CHN:KAZ and :GRE 

 

out of curiosity, if Karate was still an Olympic sport, :CHN:EGY:JPN and :TUR would have won an Olympic Gold, together with :TUR or :KAZ, :JPN or :AZE, :FRA or :GRE and :FRA or :EGY

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
