Karate in Olympics - 2016

[miked]

For those who are interested in Olympic karate.

Today, I received the following notice from the USA-NKF headquarters. Whoever is elected as an athlete representative will probably be heavily involved in working to have the IOC adopt the sport during their 2009 deliberations in Denmark. As an aside, the USA-NKF is the USA affiliate of the WKF which is the only body recognized for sport karate by the IOC.

Please take note that this announcement is not meant to stir any controversy. It is only meant for those who are interested in such activities.
