Notes

Tokyo 2020, karategi worn by Sandra SÁNCHEZ (ESP), Olympic champion, Kiyou SHIMIZU (JPN), silver medallist in kata, and Jovana PREKOVIC (SRB), Olympic champion in kumite. A karategi or karate gi is formed of a jacket and trousers, tied with a belt. The outfit must be flexible, light and fluid, but must also be able to stand up to use. A karategi is white, symbolising the purity of the soul, as well as respect and humility – essential values for practising. Donated by the athletes
