phelps 6,528 Posted November 11, 2018 Author #232 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) and if we look at the Olympic classes only, we have ESP, JPN (Kata), SRB and IRI (Kumite Middleweights) winning the "perfect" categories, meanwhile ITA / FRA and JPN / POL (Kumite Lightweights) + CRO / GER and AZE / GRE (Kumite Heavyweights) shared the "composite classes"...

MHSN 3,047 Posted November 11, 2018 #233 Share Posted November 11, 2018 That was quite a comeback Abazari and Askari lost their matches, Poursheib and Khodabakhshi made it 2-2 and it all came to the last match of Ganjzadeh. poor guy has to go home with a ruined face the Turkish guy threw everything without any kind of control to his face. that was surprising they didn't disqualify him after that illegal punch which made Ganjzadeh bleed again. also a very surprising bronze medal in team Kata ! I never trust the "results" in Kata, I don't know if they were really better than Turkey or it was just a random decision from the refs. Iran finished 3-0-3 last time in Austria which was supposed to be impossible to repeat but they almost got the same result here (1 more medal but 1 less gold) and since Karate made it to the Olympics this was supposed to be tougher than the previous edition. I can't complain , great result. they won 3 medals (3 different colors) in Olympic events. this will be great if they can repeat that in Tokyo but first they have to qualify !! which I believe will be harder than winning the medal !
