TT Karate Federation not surprised at IOC rejection

Jun 01, 2013 Sports

 

Karate was rejected for the third time from Olympic recognition. In 2005 and 2009 it came close. Four times before karate was considered but got nowhere.
The position of the Trinidad and Tobago Karate Federation (TTKF) is that karate was never truly represented at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) level. With not including the World United Karate Organization (WUKO) the World Karate Federation (WKF) was excluding more than half of the planet’s karatekas.
TTKF Karate will maintain their commitment to their athletes at all levels, the organisation said in a statement.  Our athletes are our number one priority. We will continue to train and develop officials and coaches and work with the Ministry of Sport towards this goal, the release stated.
In our country and the wider Caribbean, karate will continue to grow. We hope that we can all build on similarities and that some form of unification can be achieved. TTKF is always open to all, the release concluded.
