First big tournament of the new Karate season, the Premier League 1 event in Paris (FRA)...

 

Japan dominated the field with 5 Gold Medals, followed by Italy and Iran with 2 Gold Medals each...

France, Serbia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Venezuela won the remaining Gold Medals (one each)...

 

If we look at the Olympic classes only, Japan won both Men and Women's Kata events and 1 of the "regular" 2 classes which, added together, will make the Olympic Heavyweights in both the Men and Women's Kumite...

the other 2 "halves" of the Olympic Heavyweights went to Iran among the boys and France among the girls...

the Olympic Lightweights, meanwhile, went to Venezuela among the boys and Iran among the girls in the actual Olympic weights (with Uzbekistan - boys - and Japan - girls - taking the lower classes that are supposed to be added together to make the Olympic Lightweights)...

the only existing class that is also a pure Olympic class (Middleweights) was won by Ukraine (men) and Serbia (women)...

 

here are the full results from the French capital...

second stage of the Karate 1 Premier League in Rotterdam (NED)...

 

and once again Japan taking the major honors with 4 Gold Medals...

France followed in the final medal table with 3 Gold Medals...

Azerbaijan, China, Germany, Italy, Morocco, Ukraine and Uzbekistan all got one single Gold Medal...

 

the Olympic classes "as they stand" went to Japan (both Kata events, male and female), France (Men's -67kg and -75kg Kumite), Ukraine (Women's -55kg Kumite) and China (Women's -61kg Kumite)...

the "no limits" weights in the Olympic Kumite program (which let's remember will start at +75kg for the men and +61 kg for the women) have been won by JPN (up to 84kg) and GER (over 84kg) in the Men's division and by AZE (up to 68kg) and JPN (over 68kg)...

 

finally, here are the full results of the Dutch tournament...

Karate 1 Premier League, stage #3 (in Dubai, UAE)

 

this time usual suspects Japan and France didn't send their best athletes to the event, so we have a slightly different medal distribution than our normal K1PL stages...

 

Iran was the dominant force in Dubai with 3 Gold Medals (all of them in Kumite...and in Olympic Classes), followed by Italy and Spain with 2 Gold Medals each (for both Countries all Golds came in Kata, with the difference being that Spain got them in the Olympic Individual events and Italy in the Non-Olympic Team competitions)...

 

7 more Nations (AUT, AZE, CRO, JPN, UKR, USA, UZB), instead, got 1 Gold Medal each (all in Kumite)...

 

the 8 Olympic Classes' Gold Medals this week went to Iran (3), Spain (2, both Kata events), Japan, Ukraine and USA...

 

the not so filled with stars lineup, moreover, gave the chance to medal also to some Countries which normally don't get that high in the final rankings, with special mention to Bulgaria, Slovakia and Switzerland coming just short of full success and taking a Silver medal (for SUI not only that) home...

 

Here are the full results of this K1PL stage:

https://www.sportdata.org/wkf/set-online/popup_main.php?popup_action=results&vernr=111&active_menu=calendar

 

p.s. Kata is soooo boring to watch...I don't really understand why they picked it up in the Olympic program (Taekwondo and Judo also have Kata competitions, but they don't even think about putting it ahead of any "duel" event), if not to make Japan a gift of 2 Gold Medals just before the Games are even contested...:facepalm:

52nd European Senior Championships (Kocaeli, TUR)

 

Team Competitions Preliminary Rounds completed...those are all the Medal Bouts (scheduled for Sunday):

 

Women's Events

 

Team Kata

Gold: France vs Italy
Bronze: Portugal vs Spain & Turkey vs Germany

 

Team Kumite

Gold: Turkey vs Ukraine
Bronze: France vs Slovenia & Slovakia vs Germany

 

Men's Events

 

Team Kata

Gold: Spain vs Italy
Bronze: Azerbaijan vs Russia & France vs Montenegro

 

Team Kumite

Gold: Turkey vs France
Bronze: Ukraine vs Germany & Italy vs Croatia

 

The usual suspects, ITA-FRA-TUR have earned 2 spots in the Gold Medla finals each...ESP and UKR complete the field with just 1 shot at the most important medal colour...

in total, 13 Countries have taken at least 1 spot in the Medal finals of the Team Competitions...

 

with these numbers (and yesterday's) I think we can say that the European Karate has very good health and it's very widely practiced at the top level around the Continent...

 

 

Tomorrow it's time for the Individual Finals...can't wait for those!
