Two weeks after the Olympics, it was the turn of young European karatekas to show off their vista at the European Cadet-Junior-U21 championships held in Tampere (Finland) from August 20 to 22.
Like the Seniors (7 out of 8 qualified in Tokyo), Turkey leads the way with its 9 gold medals, ahead of Italy and Azerbaijan. All the results.
