Karate's debut as an Olympic sport brought some terrific athleticism, solid contact, and -- yes -- a whole lot of yelling to our screens and the Nippon Budokan.
There was the kata, which did not involve competing on the floor at the same time as the opponent, rather a discipline of power and technique, as well as kumite, which was hand (and foot) to hand (and body) competition.
Turkey topped the medal table with four medals, edging the three won by hosts Japan. Two medals were won by Spain, Egypt, Italy, Azerbaijan, China, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan.
