and since this was the last event of the K1 PL season, this is about the tour winners...

 

The class of 2018 of the “Best of the Best” of the Karate 1-Premier League was announced today as this year’s edition of Karate’s first-class series of international events concluded in Tokyo.

Heroes of the sport such as Sandra Sanchez, Rafael Aghayev or Ayumi Uekusa were among the top karatekas receiving the recognition. 

 

The Grand Winner award distinguishes the best competitors of the season of Karate 1-Premier League.

The honour goes to the karatekas leading the standings in each one of the twelve categories at the end of the season; it gives the athletes the right to wear the special karate-gi with the golden embroidery on the shoulders in next year’s edition of the competition. 

Karatekas from seven countries make the class of 2018 of the Grand Winners.

Among the new “Best of the Best” are three competitors who celebrate back-to-back titles in the prestigious award.

Sandra Sanchez of Spain, Serap Ozcelik of Turkey and Ayumi Uekusa of Japan are the three karatekas who will continue wearing the karate-gi with the golden embroidery next year. 

 

The list of the 2018 Grand Winners is the following: 

 

Female Kata: Sandra Sanchez (ESP)

Female Kumite -50kg: Serap Ozcelik (TUR)
Female Kumite -55kg: Sara Cardin (ITA)

Female Kumite -61kg: Gwendoline Philippe (FRA)
Female Kumite -68kg: Alizee Agier (FRA)
Female Kumite +68kg: Ayumi Uekusa (JPN)
Male Kata: Ryo Kiyuna (JPN)

Male Kumite -60kg: Eray Samdan (TUR)
Male Kumite -67kg: Burak Uygur (TUR)

Male Kumite -75kg: Rafael Aghayev (AZE)
Male Kumite -84kg: Ugur Aktas (TUR)

Male Kumite +84kg: Jonathan Horne (GER)

 

Turkey lead the 2018 edition of the Grand Winners by countries with four representatives.

Japan and France with two representatives respectively also wrap up a successful 2018 edition of the Karate 1-Premier League.

The new owners of the “Best of the Best” award will receive the recognition in a special ceremony to be held in January in Paris (France).

World Championships are gone, Premier League is over...but the year 2018 still has something to show in Karate...

 

it's the Shanghai stage of the Karate 1 Serie A (2nd tier competition behind the K1 Premier League)...

 

and because this tournament is going to award some useful points in the race towards Karate's Olympic debut in Tokyo, many "big names" decided to take part, despite the unhappy period chosen for it...

 

by the way, this is a recap of today's action (Gold Medal matches only, as the repechage trees have not been completed -or at least, there's no result for them on the WKF website)...

 

women's Kata: :ITA Viviana Bottaro vs :ESP Sandra Sanchez Jaime

women's Kumite, -50kg: :AUT Bettina Plank vs :TUR Gulsen Demirturk

women's Kumite, -55kg: :JPN Fumika Ishiai vs :UKR Anzhelika Terliuga


men's Kata: :ESP Damian Hugo Quintero Capdevila vs :INA Yuda Ahmad Zigi Zaresta

men's Kumite, -67kg: :BRA Vinicius Figueira vs :EGY Alì Ismail

wow ! I thought we won't have a competitor here. instead the number of Iranians here are even bigger than the number of Chinese athletes probably :d and except 2-3 like Derafshipour, Mehdizadeh and Poursheib I never ever heard of their names ! how the hell they let everybody to participate under the Iran's flag ? looks like anybody who could pay the trip is there.

 

for example at 75kg we had 9 Iranians in the draw :yikes: and the Brazilian guy Figueira had to beat 3 of them on his way to the final :d

Aly Ismael is a huge surprise for me and a good one ofc i've never heard about him before today and even i thought that he's Aly el sawy at first and they just changed the last name :d he defeated many players on his way to final including the European champion this year 9-1 so he looks like a promising talent to use in next year , i'm also happy that some new names found their places at NT as i think it happened late but better at least it did happen

    • Slight typo here I just wanted to point out. Thanks for compiling all of this!
    • Gabija Galvydytė just booked her spot in the 800 meters at Lithuanian indoors with a 2.00.89 pb,running completely alone.most likely will be picking which to compete in. between the 800 and the 1500 distances. 
    • Very familiar with all 3! Masterpieces as usual from John Williams  
    • Wow, Norway really wants nq after couple of horrible selections in recent years.    For some reason all love Serbia's song, but to me it's borderline (we've seen all the hype from Luke Black, and his final result).    Finland made the only right decision,    Italy - WTF? Like this song is fucking outdated. I don't mind when it's nostalgic, but this is just horrible song for Eurovision. How could you not send Ditonellapiaga who by far destroyed everyone with the staging?    Bulgaria - messy as hell, I expected more from Dara since I knew her beforehand. There are some catchy parts, but they did not sound cogesive at all.    Germany - great job, although public vote didn't like neither those songs neither Germany.

    • Watching replay of yesterday Krynica start and boy what a clusterfuck it was. One it was the most uneven course of the season so far and two there were multiple instances of one of the gates not opening. So they had to redo a couple of races.
