Karate has been put forward for voting by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) many times, however is usually voted out in the second round of voting. Having done karate since I was five years old I am passionate about the sport as much as I am about the martial art and would love to see it in the Olympics. I know that thousands of others would like the same result. So I intend to collect 2 thousand signatures of people who enjoy to watch and take part in this activity in the U.K. and around the world, and present it to the IOC.

As a karate athlete, ever since I found out karate was going to be in the Olympics in 2020, it’s been my dream ever since to win a gold medal for Australia. I really would’ve loved to have been able to compete at this years Olympics. I can root for the next Olympics.

karate is way more discipline than some of the other stuff they have in the games already, about time they let us in.

Karate should be in the Olympics, the Paralympics, and the Special Olympics!
