1966 European Karate Championships

The 1966 European Karate Championships, the 1st edition, was held in Paris, France from May 7 to 9, 1966. In 1961, Jacques Delcourt was appointed President of French Karate, which was at that stage an associated member of the Judo Federation.[1][2] In 1963 he invited the six other known European federations (Italy, Great Britain, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Spain) to come to France for the first-ever international karate event, and Great Britain and Belgium accepted the invitation.[3][4][5][6]

gollark: Great!
gollark: It needs to be highly efficient so there are spare resources for its built-in HTTP server.
gollark: Which reminds me, is there some "epoll" equivalent allowing stuff to wait on process termination? Right now it runs a thread for each one, which is bad.
