For me, the competition format is the only real problem.

 

Single bracket tournaments with 10 athletes? That's a joke right there. Should have been two pools of five athletes each.

 

actually the format is two pools of five athletes , top 2 advance to the semis

Seems like it's almost harder to qualify for the Olympics than to win a medal in karate

Thanks!

 

I kind of remember something like this from when karate got added, but when I checked the Tokyo website recently, I thought they changed it and opted for single bracket tournaments.

not almost...it's definitely harder to qualify than winning a medal once you're in...

especially in certain weight classes of kumite, it's really just up to that given day's shape...

Is there anywhere we can see the draws?

the official document says the "draw ceremony" will be held on 18:30 (local time) so I guess we have to wait a bit for that. at least an hour. maybe two.
