so, at the end of the first session of the finals we have Turkey on top of the medal table with twice Gold, followed by 5 other Nations with 1 Gold medal each...

 

most entertaining final, surely the women's -55kg...

 

meanwhile the most "titled" match of modern karate (the men's -75kg final between Busà and Aghayev), as expected, was a great tactical struggle, with both athletes respecting and fearing each other too much to put on a spectacular show...in the end, it was Busà to take advantage of the only chance of the bout and winning the 5th European Gold medal of his amazing career...

I always read it as Hentai, instead of Hantei. 

The internet doesn't always have the best effect on one's thinking.
