Kommentar WKF:
In an outstanding showcase of dominance, Sandra Sanchez of Spain won the title of Female Kata to become one of the stars of the tournament. The Olympic champion continues demonstrating an impressive level. In her first appearance after the historic gold at the Olympic Games, the Kata queen controlled the competition in Moscow. The current European, World, and Olympic title-holder defeated Sakura Kokumai of the United States in the final with a score of 28.14 to 25.8. This victory helped Sanchez to maintain the Grand Winner crown one more year.
Sandra Sanchez said:
“I am very happy because I am able to finish the season of Karate 1-Premier League with a victory. It reinforces my expectations ahead of the World Championships and it gives me strength to continue fighting for my goal of winning the triple crown of World, European and Olympic titles in the same year.”
“In a way, I want to continue enjoying the beautiful things that the Olympics are bringing me. But the past is in the past, and I want to keep on working to achieve new challenges and to beat my own marks.”

The home crowd in Moscow celebrated the fantastic performance of one of the most promising Russian karatekas: Anna Chernysheva.
The current European champion who also qualified to represent the sport at the Olympics produced one of the most impressive demonstrations of offensive Karate of the day as she defeated Sabina Zakharova of Kazakhstan 5-0 in Female Kumite -55kg.
Chernysheva starred in one of the Top moments of the day as she signed off an outstanding “Ippon” or three-point technique by “Ura Mawashi Geri” kick with the bout at 0.09 seconds to go.
Anna Chernysheva said:
“This tournament made a whole difference to me because we were able to compete in front of so many people for the first time after so long. I could feel their support helping me to succeed today.”
“It is nice to hear that people think that I am Russian Karate’s most promising athlete. I feel a lot of responsibility for this and I just hope that I can return this trust with good performances on the tatami.”

The highlight bout of the day had Olympian Sofya Berultseva of Kazakhstan as the big star. The final of Female Kumite +68kg was a roller-coaster of emotions as Berultseva and local idol Vera Kovaleva engaged in a fantastic exchange of offensive karate actions.
Kovaleva had the victory on her hands after completing a magnificent “Ippon” by “Mawashi Geri” kick. However, Olympic Games bronze medallist Berultseva produced a sensational comeback and registered a dramatic “Ippon” and a “Wazari” to end up winning the title 9-5.
