phelps 6,844 Posted October 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Karate World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships to be held as planned despite unrest The World Karate Federation has announced that the 2019 World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships in Santiago (Chile) will be celebrated as scheduled despite the situation of social unrest in the country. Karate’s international governing body will be hosting the most important underage competition of the sport as planned after receiving confirmation from the Chilean authorities that conditions for the normal progress of the tournament were assured. The 2019 World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships are scheduled to take place in Santiago from Wednesday, October 23 to Sunday, October 27. The Chilean National Karate federation, in constant communication with top sports authorities in the country, received official confirmation from their government that participants and staff members’ safety ahead of the event was guaranteed. “The wellbeing of all the members of the Karate family taking part at the World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships in Santiago is our main concern. Since the Chilean government has made clear that the event could be held as expected, we will continue with the anticipated celebration of underage sport that is our World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships,” said WKF President Antonio Espinós. The Chilean government declared a state of emergency in parts of Santiago early Saturday after riots broke around the capital. The protests began on Monday over an increase in metro fares but morphed into extended protests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they couldn't provide an excellent media coverage of the tournament because of the environmental conditions, they should have moved it to another place or date or, if necessary, even cancel this year's championship! and then they still cry because they've been thrown out of the Olympics!

I often disagree when blaming federations, but not here...it's hardly their fault when a country goes to shit and cancelling an event so shortly before it's planned isn't always a great plan neither.. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

phelps 6,844 Posted October 24, 2019 #9 Share Posted October 24, 2019 @hckosice Slovakia has 1 young girl fighting for the Gold Medal! Adela Vlasakova is in the girls cadets -54kg final (against Basmala Hassan)... now I have a doubt... I don't know if Slovakia has a finalist because the live streaming has been cancelled or if the streaming has been cancelled because Slovakia has a finalist?
