I appreciate WKF at least having a live score system but they really have to upgrade their software. it just sucks.

 

I see there are so many Iranians in the draw most of them losing 0-0 in the first round !! after a bit search that's just "no show" I don't know how that's possible to register something like 30-40 players and 70% of them don't show up and still no consequences from WKF for ruining the draw !

 

even for those Iranians in the competition this is a poor result . only Ganjzadeh made it to the final. Poursheib and Mehdizadeh in bronze medal match. maybe that's not a surprise since they had no time to rest after the Asian Games.

2 more Italians in the medal matches...good...even if the women's -68 and +68kg classes could lead to some troubles within our team, since Semeraro should be the girl representing ITA in the Olympic Heavyweights and not Ferracuti (and today's results don't go in this direction)...

also in the men's -60 and -67 it's a shame that we're gonna have to choose only one between Maresca and Crescenzo...they are both potential medallists...

I really think that the Olympic format they've chosen sucks...and sucks big time...

hey, man! this is the "world cup" of Karate...there are prizes up for grab...

it's not only about qualifying for the Olympic Games...

actually, every K1PL tournament is only open to the best 50 players in the world in each class...

with your idea, the Japanese guys shouldn't even take part into the world championships...
