phelps 6,535 Posted November 21, 2021 Author #54 Share Posted November 21, 2021 just one final consideration... with only 16 events, we have 25 Nations getting at least a medal, 10 of them winning at least 1 gold... we have all the Continents (but Oceania) with multiple medals... all the individual events had more than 50 entries (with just 1 athlete per Nation), in some cases even more than 70 (even the team Kumite events had 46 and 51 entries among the men and the women respectively)... but for some reason Karate doesn't deserve to be an Olympic sport, favouring disciplines with less than 10 entries from the usual 5/6 Nations of the usual 2/3 Continents... thank you IOC, thank you! now it's really over...see you in the other sports' threads... thepharoah and mrv86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,047 Posted November 21, 2021 #55 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I watched almost all of the finals. lots of interesting high scoring matches, even though it was painful to watch, I still don't know why exactly our federation withdrew the way absolutely nobody talks about it, it looked like a super important security reason, something like the whole Dubai is going to blow up and only these guys knew about it. hopefully one day in near future we will know the real reason, but for now it seems they changed the plan and will send the A team to the Asian Championship next month (something to make up for the athletes whom I assume are very upset now) they were supposed to send the 2nd tier Karatekas to Kazakhstan. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
