Summer is over, but has it really started for our champions ? They are all there, in Ireland, as if the rhythm of the Olympic era was missing. They all took an appointment with this karate1Dublin (October 8-10), the 4^th and last of the year which will designate the Grand Winners 2023. This K1 is also the last big international competition before the Budapest Worlds (October 22-26) and also corresponds to the comeback of Steven Da Costa.
