In Chile, the Egyptian team finished 1st nation with 19 medals. With 7 golds, its domination suffers no doubt. In Kata or in Kumite, they won a medal in each different category. Behind Egypt, Turkey (15 medals) and France (12 medals) completes the podium. In this very special context because of riots, some nations did not come to Santiago to participate at these Youth World championships. Japan, Switzerland and others stayed at home for security reasons. Forced to change the schedule, the WKF chose to organize a category with finals and medals at the end of the day. An interesting format that offers continuous entertainment.
