There will be brackets? and how will they by seeded? by ranking? Then the semifinalists will make a round robin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the semifinalists will make a round robin? it will be like any other Karate event, direct elimination with repechage and top 4 in the ranking will be seeded (to not face each other early) but there will be no final and all 4 medalists (finalists + repechage winners) will compete again in a round robin competition. (and those who faced earlier have to fight again) Laraja 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 2,165 Posted May 27, 2021 #244 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Wow Panetsidou must've lost weight to compete in this category! Good for her because it would've been a shame if she didn't get a chance to make it to Tokyo as obviously Chatziliadou would've been preferred over her.

MHSN 3,633 Posted June 13, 2021 #246 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I believe WKF will announce the Continental quotas tomorrow but I double checked everything, I think these guys are going to qualify but this is not official until WKF confirms it Men Kata: Adnane El Hakimi 67: Kalvis Kalnins 75: Yahiro Tsuneari & Abdalla Abdelaziz +75: Brian Irr & Daniyar Yuldashev Women Kata: Alexandrea Anacan & Maria Dimitrova 55: Radwa Sayed & Bettina Plank 61: Alexandra Grande & Rozita Alipour +61: None ================== so we have 4 spots available for Tripartite invitation. but athletes have to be inside top 50 in the World Ranking. Eligible for women's +61kg: (2 quotas available) Marina Rakovic Eligible for men's kata: Sayed Mohammed Al-Mosawi Eligible for men's 67kg: Emil Pavlov Nenad Dulovic Abdullah Shaaban Orges Arifi ================== per rules if they can't allocate wild cards Quote the quota will be reallocated to the highest ranked athlete in the applicable category from an NOC not already represented as per Olympic Standing of 24 May 2021. I assume that means they will award those quotas to NOCs without a single quota in Karate. because it doesn't say "not already represented in that category" since there are 2 wild cards available in women's +61kg and only one athlete is eligible to take that. I think that means one will be reallocated at least. the following athletes are best ranked in those categories from NOCs with zero quotas in Karate Women's +61kg: Eleni Chatziliadou Miroslava Kopunova * Chatziliadou should qualify anyway. Kopunova goes only if Montenegro doesn't get that Wild Card. Men's kata: Sayed Mohammed Al-Mosawi * This Kuwaiti guy is the next best athlete (from an NOCs already represented) and he is also the only athlete here eligible for the Wild Card. I beleive one way or another he will take that spot. Men's 67kg: Camilo Velozo * highly unlikely because 4 athletes are eligible for the Wild Card thiago_simoes and Laraja 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 5,679 Posted June 13, 2021 #247 Share Posted June 13, 2021 That is good news for our Greek friend @Makedonas. Hopefully WKF will confirm it tomorrow. Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very glad to hear that! I saw a Greek sports site talking about her possibly getting a wildcard but thought maybe it was an error on their part. She was so unlucky with injuries during the past two years (she was almost certain to qualify by ranking before getting injured), and her boyfriend is our best boxer who was one win away from qualifying for Tokyo, then covid hit and he had to wait 15 months for the qualifying tournament to resume, and by then he was in hospital getting surgery and had to withdraw. So it would be really nice if one of them can make it! thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WKF still didn't even announce the Continental quotas yet, I was expecting that today though. the deadline is 16 June. so two more days left. but keep in mind reallocated quotas are never a sure thing. I'm not even 100% sure about the Continental quotas I posted earlier. let alone reallocated Tripartite Committee quotas. but I read the rules so many times and explained everything in details, I still think she will get the quota. that part was interesting in his instagram, I like to see her reaction when/if she hears the news. after reading that post I really hope she does. Quote Call me crazy I still believe that God can’t leave it like this after all this I have been through. Makedonas and intoronto 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
