Karate 1-Premier League:

Iran’s Meskini settles for kumite bronze

Iran’s Ali Meskini settled for a bronze medal at the third Karate 1-Premier League event of the season, finishing third in the men’s kumite -60kg contests in Cairo, Egypt.
Meskini bounced back from a last-eight setback against Japanese Hiromu Hashimoto to come out victorious (7-3) against Colombian Juan David Forero and share the third podium with Germany’s Florian Haas.
Hashimoto went on to grab the ultimate prize of the class, thanks to a 7-3 victory over the host’s Zyad Aly.
Meskini began his campaign in Cairo with an 8-5 win against Kazakhstan’s Zholaman Bigabyl in Pool 3, and then defeated Frenchman Rayyan Meziane 7-4, before a stalemate against Abdallah Hammad of Jordan saw the Iranian progress to quarterfinals as the pool winner.
Meskini’s compatriots Bahman Asgari and Amirreza Borzouei, meanwhile, left the Egyptian capital empty-handed.
Former world champion Asgari won two bouts and lost one to miss out on a knockout place in the men’s -75kg contests – the same outcome for Borzouei in the -67kg class, after he managed only one win, against Italian Rosario Ruggiero, in three outings to finish third in the pool.
