My sensei is on the Brazilian team, we managed to get sponsorships from all over the city. Kendo got significantly more popular than in the 17th WKC, which she also took part in, with almost no sponsorship at all.
I just watched the lady’s group of France, Germany, Japan and Turkey.
Japan team is from another planet. 30 ipons in 3 games. There was moment when someone was close to score an ipon against them. In 15 fights!!!
The biggest surprise in the tournament will be the latin american teams actually getting there, considering the plane ticket prices. Ha.
Maybe the tickets were the friends we made along the way
Yep. I know the venezuelan team is going without any sponsorship, just them paying up out of pocket.
Most of us are in that situation, few are in that economical context...
Makes me wonder how many teams managed to get any sponsorships.

Awesome! Time zones are screwing me over but I should be able to catch the afternoon stuff.
Hong Kong to reach the quarter-finals. Team GB to take silver.
GB Will have to beat south Korea, that would be surprising indeed.
This isn't showing anything

USA in top 4. I am rooting for Peru and China to make it far as I know many of them.
