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.
