First of all, I will try to explain what happened here in France; . The leaders of the WKF and the French Federation met on several occasions with the OCOG 2024, everything was going for the best, our sport was perfectly defended. The Director of sport of the OCOG said that our sport met all the IOC's expectations and there is no worries. Then suddenly the announcement was made and hit everyone, karate was not hold for 2024 Olympics Shorts list from French Olympic Comittee and the OCOG decided to announce it now, right before Tokyo. French leaders, fight to be heard, steps are taken to change this decision, things move and the media are interested in us. Several TV (national newspaper), press contact us and asking for interviews. Several sportsmen of other sports support us. This is a injustice, for the future of our generations. I wish we could each of us broadcast a short video with the Olympic sign 2024 and saying that we support Karate for 2024 Olympics: . https://paris2024.org///public/articles/images/zidane.jpg . Please announce in that video : your name, country, your Title, and say that "We will fight together for karate to be in Paris in 2024, for future generations of our sport". . Hashtags #karate2024 . The goal is to broadcast a maximum on Facebook and Instagram, that this message be relayed by thousands of practitioners who will make the same video, that the media are interested in each country about our movement, maybe the IOC will listen to us and change the decision of the COJOJ. . Thanks again for Listening to me and hope that all Karatekas friends will work together. . M. Yann Baillon, French Karate HeadCoach
