Where can I actually see results? Because it's not in the "Results" tab apparently.

 

 

under "draw records"...

and I can tell you that NED have a Gold Medal contender once again...Geoffrey Berens made it through to the Big Final in the Men's Kumite -60kg (he'll face Amir Mehdizadeh from Iran)...

in the meantime, Italy had another somehow disappointing day, with Sara Cardin not repeating herself (however she's going to fight for Bronze, at least...as also Luca Maresca will do)...

so, we ended up the qualifications in th Individual events with no guys in the Big Finals, which is very bad...and 5 in the Bronze Medal bouts, which is not that bad...

but I expected a lot more from these Champs, especially now that this sport is going to have the honor to take part in the Olympic Games...

 

p.s. which Kumite classes would you choose for the Tokyo 2020 Games? would you pick 3 of the already existing weights or would you build 3 "special" categories trying to optimize the weights?

should I take this decision, I'd like to have -65kg, -75kg, +75kg (-70kg, -80kg, +80kg is also a good chance) for men and -54kg, -62kg, +62kg for women...

another medal chance wow looks like slovak girls are becoming a bit dangerous

 

anyway thats already huge results

[MHSN 3,598]

Iran will be in team kumite final for the 2nd time in a row, this time against Japan. they didn't lose a single individual match in their way to the final. A very good tournament for men's kumite team so far, even though the rest of the team were disappointing.

 

in the women's side, it will be France vs Spain

Kosovo claim bronze at the World Championship just two days after gained full member of the WKT   

[MHSN 3,598]

Is there any live stream for the finals?

[phelps 7,634]

unfortunately, this time we only have a pay-per-view streaming...

and I can't even find any working illegal stuff...

 

p.s. if you somehow can get BeIN Sports tv channels, they're broadcasting all finals live...

[phelps 7,634]

here there are the final rankings, where we can see who won the bronze medals bout until now...

 

first look...disaster for Italy, losing...losing...and losing again...

 

great news, instead, for our friend HC Kosice...Slovakia got not one, but two (2) bronze medals already...both Dominika Tatarova (+68kg) and Ingrida Suchankova (-61kg) won their match and earned the Bronze Medal...
