Polish Karate Federation
In 2016, the International Olympic Committee adopted a resolution on karate as the thirtieth Olympic discipline to perform at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The Polish Olympic Committee granted legal membership for the Polish Karate Association. According to the decision of the Ministry of Sport and Tourism in Poland, PZK is the only organization that can represent and use Polish national symbols when participating in foreign competitions.
Karate at the 2020 Summer Olympics
There will only be three weight classes for Olympic competition, rather than the five normally used by the World Karate Federation. The two lightest (-60kg and -67kg men, -50kg and -55kg women) will be combined for the Olympic version of -67kg men and -55kg women, the middle (-75kg men, -61kg women) will remain intact, and the two heaviest (-84kg and +84kg men, -68kg and +68kg women) will be combined for Olympic +75kg men and +61kg women.
