Egypt prevailed in the 2022 Karate 1-Premier League Rabat after completing a dominating performance on the final day of the competition. The Egyptian karatekas finished the event with a remarkable tally of five gold medals.

Egypt opened their outstanding gold medal count today in the final of Female Kumite -50kg. Reem Ahmed Salama won the title in a showcase of offensive abilities (7-3 over Spain’s Gema Morales). It is the first crown of Karate 1-Premier League for the promising Egyptian karateka.

The second gold for the Egyptian delegation came in Female Kumite -61kg. Dahab Ali defeated Aurora Graziosi of Italy 2-0 in a final of first-time finalists.

Since the title-deciding bout of Male Kumite -75kg was an All-Egypt final, the African powerhouse nation of the sport continued their successful performance today with another gold. Abdallah Abdelaziz upset team-mate Ali Elsawy by 3-2 with the Egyptian Olympian claiming a late “Yuko” or one-point technique by “Tsuki” in the last second of the bout. `

 

The strength of Egyptian Karate was further demonstrated in Male Kumite -84kg. World champion Youssef Badawy used his World titleholder status to beat Mohammad Aljafari of Jordan 6-4 in a convincing demonstration of efficiency.

The final gold for Egypt came in Male Kumite +84kg as Taha Mahmoud Tarek took his second medal this year following a solid 4-0 victory over Spain’s Babacar Seck Sakho. The current African Championships runner-up paved his way to the title with an impressive “Ippon” by “Mawashi-geri” kick.

ABDEL ALI JINA TAKES STUNNING GOLD FOR MOROCCO

Morocco’s Abdel Ali Jina became one of the heroes of the day as he took the flag of the organising country to the top of the podium in an exhilarating fashion. The current World Championships bronze medallist claimed a last-minute victory in the final of Male Kumite -60kg over Mohamed Salah Mohamed of Egypt 7-5.

 

With 5-4 down on the scoreboard and just one second to go, the Moroccan karateka managed to connect a sensational “Ippon” or three-point technique by “Mawashi-geri” kick to win the bout 7-5.

The delegation of the host country could not get one more gold as Nisrine Brouk had to settle for silver in Female Kumite -68kg. Elena Quirici of Switzerland was too strong for the Moroccan karateka, who could not avoid the two-time continental champion from Switzerland winning the title 5-0.

GRAND WINNER ANZHELIKA TERLIUGA SHOWS OUTSTANDING FORM
