The Kyokushin Karate World Cup is taking place in Yerevan on April 25–26. This is a major event for both Armenia and the global sports community, especially since it is the first time our country has organized such a tournament.
The President of the International Federation of Kyokushin Karate, David Pickthall, and the Secretary General of the Kyokushin World Union, Alexander Pichkunov, have arrived in Armenia to follow the competition.
Events like this remind us once again that our focus should not be only on Olympic sports, but also on non-Olympic disciplines—by supporting athletic development and the active participation of young people.
