wtf, third quota chance for us? I knew that we can have one chance here, but three in this competitive field with so few Olympic spots? 

 

I guess we will likely end with one quota, but I must say that the Hungarian men did a great job at this tournament.

for sure at the Olympics there's no team event (which exists in Karate, but only at World and Continental champs)...

 

I guess someone messed things up...

So then what was the team event about people were posting about here last night?  

[MHSN 3,632]

these 4 girls will fight for 3 quotas in women's +61kg

 

Semeraro

Abdelaziz

Quirici

Bratic

 

ITA and EGY are already qualified even if they fail here. but this is very important for Brazil and Kumizaki. if both of them qualify. that last Pan-Am continental quota will go to Dominican Republic in Kata.

and we had lots of surprises in men's +75kg. I think only Arkania was expected to be here.

 

Arkania

Hamedi

Lardy

Gaysinsky

 

what a day for Canada so far.

Wow chances for 2 quotas. If you asked me before this tournament I'd have picked these 2 as Canada's number 2 and 3 athletes here.

Feeling bad for Lisjak, but then again, we have qualified quite enough combat athletes up to this point. I want something else.

Heartbreaking for Chatziliadou to miss out 

She won medals at the last two World Championships and last three European Championships and is the reigning world champion. Really a shame.

Not sure what to think of Canada's chances in the round robin. We do like to finish fourth, but this is the last sport where we aren't guaranteed to qualify someone (we are guaranteed to qualify someone in golf, judo, tennis and triathlon via rankings) so it would be wonderful if one of them manages it.

no team event...they were just talking of the finals of the individual events naming only the Nations of the athletes involved instead of writing their actual names (sometimes very complicated to remember while writing quickly)...
