According to IRNA; Karate One Baku competition started from Friday and will continue until Sunday evening. 347 athletes from 58 countries are participating in this event.
Iran has also participated in these competitions in both women’s and men’s divisions.
At the beginning of this competition, the Kataros faced their opponents, and Fatemeh Sadeghi was supposed to start her career from the group stage, but a strange incident caused her failure.
In the first match, he was supposed to face the representative of the Czech Republic, but due to not respecting the color of the belt and headscarf and one minute delay to enter the tatami, he was announced as a loser by the judges.
He also refused to compete with Italian and Japanese Kataros to end his career with three losses.
Meanwhile, the meeting of the team representatives was held yesterday evening and the new rules, including the use of certain colors in kata, were explained to them.
Before this, the color of the belt was optional for kataros, but the rules have changed since the Baku tournament, which it seems that the Iranian karate representatives did not know about.
