It is also significant since it is the final qualifying tournament before the Olympic Games in Tokyo where karate will be featured as an Olympic sport for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Milanovi\u0107 is pleased that karate has secured Olympic status. \u201cIt is a serious and popular sport, has been practiced worldwide for decades and just now has secured Olympic status. I hope it will stay as such and not find itself in a situation like Greco-Roman wrestling, which is a foundation of the Olympic Games, and has nearly lost its status\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about sports in general President Milanovi\u0107 said that he practiced sports his entire life. \u201cNow less, because a person should know his limits. When you reach a certain age you should slow down a bit, but never stop. One has to do sports\u201d, the President said, sending a message to his friends and peers who started playing sports in their forties. He told them to be especially careful because they have a lot of zeal, but the body has its limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organization of such major competitions in Croatia and Pore\u010d is very significant, he said. \u201cThe \u017datika sports hall, built in 2009 for the handball championships, is intended for such events. My advice is \u2013 more and more sports for young people!\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the countries participating at the championships were introduced, addresses were made by the President of the Croatian Karate Federation Davor Cipek, the Mayor of Pore\u010d Loris Per\u0161uri\u0107, the State Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism and Sports Tomislav Dru\u017eak and the President of the World Karate Federation and the European Karate Federation Antonio Espin\u00f3s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attending the opening ceremony of the 56<sup>th<\/sup> European Senior Karate and Para-Karate Championships with President Milanovi\u0107 was the Commissioner of the President for Sports \u017deljko Jovanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n                <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2110.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2110.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2117.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2117.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2139-3.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2139-3.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2153.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2153.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2190.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2190.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2210.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2210.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p>PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Ana Marija Kati\u0107<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended the opening ceremony of the 56th European Senior Karate and Para-Karate Championships in the \u017datika sports hall taking place from 19 to 23 May in Pore\u010d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9710,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-9754","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
