Thanks to Samdan (-60 kg), Uygur (-67 kg), Aktas (-84 kg) in male categories, and to Philippe (-61 kg), Agier (-68 kg) and Garcia (+68 kg) in the female ones, Turkey and France shine at the last Premier League of the year that just finished a few minutes ago in Tokyo. But, still, Japan ranks 1st. All the results.

Following the qualifying tournament for the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) held in Umag (Croatia) on June 29th-30th, we now know the 36 athletes qualified for the first Olympic tournament in the history of Karate that will take place in Buenos Aires on October 17th-18th. Japan will have 6 fighters (out of 6 possible), Iran 4, Turkey, Russia, Great Britain and Morocco, 2. We thus should notice the absence of major nations such as Germany, Azerbaijan, Spain and France.
