Karate WKF Olympic Games Qualifier 2021

[Federer91 3,028]

Wow, a real miracle from Ivet Goranova. Did not expect this, even if she is one of the best female natural talents in this sport. It would have been a big loss, if her talent was wasted and she missed the only Olympics opportunity that she will have, since karate won't be in anymore OG.

Really two  from 12 places go to triparity places? It is a joke.

Continental quotas ladder

@phelps by my count Semeraro is 100% safe. there is no scenario that both +61 spots been taken before Europe.

 

no big change on the men's side, I will leave that until tomorrow.

 

Oceania:

1. Anacan (Kata - Rank 9) - Qualified Continental Quota

 

Africa:

1. Abdelaziz (+61kg - Rank 5)

2. Sayed (55kg - Rank 11) - failed to qualify directly

 

America:

1. Grande (61kg - Rank 9) - will go to Tokyo even if doesn't qualify directly

2. Kumizaki (55kg - Rank 19) - failed to qualify directly

 

Asia:

1. Alipour (61kg - Rank 6) - will go to Tokyo even if doesn't qualify directly

2. Li (55kg - Rank 8) - failed to qualify directly

3. Berultseva (+61kg - Rank 9)

 

Europe:

1. Semeraro (+61kg - Rank 11)- will go to Tokyo even if doesn't qualify directly

2. Serogina (61kg - Rank 12)

3. Plank (55kg - Rank 14) - failed to qualify directly

thanks for your calculation...

 

it's really great news, because she hasn't recovered yet at 100% since the injury that made her miss the Lisbon K1PL and lose in the 1st match at the Europeans...

 

hopefully, now she can get better before the start of the Olympics...

Wait, if 0-0 draw is possible in kumite, doesn't that give a ton of advantage to the athletes of the last match, depending on how the previous matches went? Like, what's stopping them to have a friendly 0-0 if that's the only outcome where they both qualify? 

that's why normally Karate tournaments have knockout brackets...

 

but nowadays with those limited quota places and small number of athletes in each tournament, they're using more and more this sh*t of round robins...

the Azeri guy made it to the Olympics without taking an action in 3 games. Nice

This is a serious sport. Especially kata. They appreciate beating up on the nothing nicer. Martial art..yes

Yeah. If their goal was to make me hate karate, their certainly succeeded. I am not sure when was the last time I was so frustrated by an Olympic sport. 

I know a lot of people on this forum like Karate, but for me of all the additional sports this is the one I'm least keen on seeing again.

What about the continental places in male 67kg? How can the hungarian guy qualify? There must be some chance somehow

No, there's only four tripartite quotas (2 men and 2 women) across the eight events. They also need to be ranked in the top 50 in order to be eligible to compete.

 

However, only 10 athletes will compete in each event.

I'm afraid there is no chance for him. Continental places will be decided based on European Games results and the Latvian guy in the same weight who won the EG is the first in line for the European Continental quota.

I think no more than 1-2 Tripartite spots will be allocated. The rest will go back to the rankings.
