the new Karate season has started!

 

the great news about it it's the fact that from now we're in the Olympic Qualification period, when the top tournaments in the World (Premier League, Serie A, Continental Champs and, of course, World Champs) give up points for the new World Ranking, which, at the end of the process, is going to determine most of the 10 qualified athletes in each Olympic category to Tokyo 2020...

 

because yes!, Karate will make its first Olympic appearance in 2 years time...

 

and just a few minutes ago, the first stage of the 2018 Karate 1 Premier League has finished in Paris (FRA)...

 

and the most prestigious tournament of them all has finished with non-news, meaning that more or less all the medals went to the usual suspects...

 

Japan, in fact, dominated the field with 5 Gold Medals (3 in Kata events, 2 in Kumite events...3 of those 5 coming in Olympic classes), well clear of the local heroes from France, who got 3 full triumphs (all in Kumite events, 2 of them in Olympic classes)...

Iran was the 3rd strenght this week with 2 Gold Medals (both in Kumite events, 1 in an Olympic class)...

Finally Malaysia, China, Kazakhstan and Spain got 1 Gold Medal each (the first 3 in Kumite events, ESP in Kata), with CHN and MAS success coming in Olympic categories...

 

here are the full Final Results fro the Paris tournament:

just a personal (sad) thought...

 

Karate refs suck!!! and they suck a lot!!! :facepalm::wall:

imho, now that Karate has become an Olympic sport, we're gonna see more and more episodes of bad refereeing, corruption, "political" decisions and awful things like that...

and this because there are so few Olympic quota up for grabs and for the various federations is vital to earn at least some of them for this fisrt Olympic party for Karate...

my preview is that we're gonna see even more scandals than in the early days of Olympic Taekwondo...and I said it all...:cry::facepalm::wall:

really Sad for our player Giana Farouk who was dominating -61 weight category almost in all age categories she won the gold in wchs , but last year she didn't participate in any competition , so i guess it's not a big surprise for her to lose in R16 , Ahmed el Masry in men's -84 , this guy is really amazing and since i watched him in wch -21 i realized that we really have a big champion and it didn't take much to prove this in senior level , he lost by shidos only in his final game against Iranian Player after winning in a big Margin in previous games , overall this's not the competition i wanted from the Egyptian team , cuz i believe we have much more better results to deliver

Karate1 Premier League, Stage #2 (Dubai, UAE)

 

overall, Turkey dominated this K1PL stage with 4 Gold medals...

Spain and France each got 2 and Italy, China, Japan, Azerbaijan, Egypt and a not better identified WKF team took 1 Gold medal each...

 

counting the Olympic events only, Spain unbelievably topped the ranking by taking both Kata events (and that was really a big surprise since also some of the best Japanese athletes were there)...

meanwhile the 6 Kata events went to 6 different Countries: Italy, Japan, China (women), France, Azerbaijan and Turkey (men)...

 

here you can find all the results of this Dubai K1PL stage:

in the last weekend, the Karate-1 Serie A tournament in Salzburg (AUT) was on stage

 

Japan as usual got the most of the honors out of it, with 3 Gold medals...

Croatia and Egypt followed the Asians in the final medal table with 2 Gold medals each...

meanwhile France, Germany, Kosovo, Ukraine and Uzbekistan got 1 Gold medal each...

 

Japan (men) and Hong Kong (women) also won 2 additional Gold medals in the Team Kata events, which to me are senseless, because of the very modest participation (in terms of both the number and the quality of the teams involved)...

 

considering the Olympic categories only, instead, Japan got both Individual Kata top placings...

the Kumite Gold medals went to CRO (winning both -50 & -55kg classes), FRA (-61kg) and EGY (winning both -68 and +68kg classes) among the girls and UZB+JPN (-60 & -67kg), GER (-75kg) and UKR+KOS (-84 & +84kg) among the boys...

Karate1 Premier League, Stage #3 (Rotterdam, NED)

 

overall, Japan got back on top of the operations with 4 Gold medals...

they were followed closely by Turkey, who won 3 Gold medals...

Germany came out as the 3rd best force with a couple of Gold medals, meanwhile France, Spain and Chinese Taipei completed the "serious" stuff by winning 1 Gold medal each one...

 

Italy (men) and Spain (women) also got some satisfaction in the senseless team Kata competitions...

 

looking at the Olympic classes, the 2 Kata events this time were spread between Japan (men) and Spain (women)...

in the Kumite disciplines, instead, JPN & TPE shared the honors in the lower female division (by winning respectively the -50kg & -55kg), with FRA taking the -61kg and GER & JPN sharing the heavier class (by winning respectively the -68kg and +68kg)...

on the men's side, TUR won the lower weight division (they took both -60kg and -67kg classes), with JPN topping the middle weights (-75kg) and TUR, once again, & GER sharing the heavy & super-heavyweights (-84kg and +84kg respectively)...

Karate1 Premier League, Stage #4 (Rabat, MAR)

 

first, we have to say that many of the usual main contenders were't there...

 

but, since it's always the absents' fault, we have to honor those who were in Rabat...

 

overall, Egypt and France were the only Nations to get multiple Gold medals (2 each), if we don't count the Moroccan double in the senseless Team Kata events...

all the remaining Gold medals, in fact, were spread between a bunch of Nations with just a single Gold each one (HKG, TUR, JPN, BRA, DEN, FIN, UZB and AZE)...

 

looking at the Olympic classes, the 2 Kata events have been won by Turkey (men) and Hong Kong (women)...

in the Kumite disciplines, instead, JPN & BRA shared the honors in the lower female division (by winning respectively the -50kg & -55kg), with FRA taking once again the -61kg and DEN & FIN sharing the heavier class (by winning respectively the -68kg and +68kg)...

on the men's side, UZB & EGY shared the lower weight division (they took the -60kg and -67kg classes, respectively), with the geat Rafael Aghayev of AZE topping the middle weights (-75kg) and EGY, once again, & FRA sharing the heavy & super-heavyweights (-84kg and +84kg, respectively)...

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
