It was Organisational Committe (COJO) call (with or without IOC friendly advices...) Ok, I thought it was the French NOC that took the decision together with the COJO (at least, that's what I read...but obviously the news was not correct)... for what it matters, I'll be more precise next time...

dcro 10,172 Posted March 12, 2019 #302 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Wait, did he put "logic" and "IOC" in the same sentence? This is hardly a valid argument. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1076679/world-karate-federation-president-claims-simply-not-logical-to-exclude-sport-from-paris-2024 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,131 Posted March 12, 2019 #303 Share Posted March 12, 2019 In terms of costs karate is one of the cheapest, the bigger issue is that they require more athletes than the other nominated sports (unless they decide to create another farce of having only 10 athletes per weightclass like in 2020). Would the sport sacrifice kumite and only have the individual kata events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been thinking the small thing actually. It honestly just seems like a flash word to describe something popular amongst people of my generation. “Sport has the power to change the world.
