Team Kumite Final Results Men's Gold: Turkey Silver: Spain Bronze: Ukraine & Serbia Women's Gold: Switzerland Silver: Italy Bronze: France & Croatia

France won the first Bronze in the Women's Team Kumite (they beat Turkey)...

naaa, I don't agree...there was nothing wrong with the judges this time...the truth is that Maresca wasted the first 2 minutes of the bout by doing absolutely nothing... then when you're down in the score, things get extremely difficult in a close match... shame on him, not on the refs... he should regret the semifinal against the Turkish guy, rather than today's consolation match
