Drama about German karate star Horne - KICKE

Jonathan Horne screamed in pain. The dream of a historic medal in Tokyo is bursting for Germany's best Karateka in a tragic manner. The 32-year-old from Kaiserslautern injured himself in his second preliminary fight on Saturday on the right arm and had to give up.

Shadowverse - That's... not how that works. Horne was brought to the mat on a stretcher. His Georgian opponent Gogita Arkania, who was then explained to the winner, applauded him to him. The long-standing flagship of the German Karate Association suffered an elbow injury and was brought to other investigations into the Olympic village, said sport director Christian Green shortly after the accident.

Draws to start

Only the first and second places of the two preliminary round groups reach the semi-final of the weight class over 75 kilograms and thus the medal ranks. At the beginning, Horne, which starts in the duel discipline Kumite, had to settle with a draw against Danijar Yulghev from Kazakhstan. After his injury to the duel with Arkania, the tournament was running in the venerable martial arts temple Nippon Budokan for the German then.

Horne, which - inspired by the films of the legendary Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan - began Karate at the age of five years, belonged to Tokyo at the closest favorite circle. Only a few athletes, in his opinion, dominate the "balance of speed, hardness and precision" necessary for this martial art like the former world and current European champion. Precious metal was therefore his great goal in Japan. "I always start to win," the Palatine had said in the run-up to the game. "But I also know what I have achieved in my career."

Probably unique Olympia event - "Demoralizing"

Karate is in Tokyo for the first time part of the Olympic program, 2024 in Paris but again no longer there. Horne should not get another chance on an Olympic medal. "I can not understand that it is now Olympic now and is already taken out again before it has occurred at all," Horne had already complained about the event. For the participants, the "demoralizing" is.

Also for Hornes teammates it had not went well in Tokyo in the days before. Both Jasmin Jüttner and Ilja Smorguner in the discipline Kata as well as Noah Bitsch (Kumite) in the last tournament of his career were all failed in the preliminary round.
