The men's kumite 67 kg competition in Karate at the 2020 Summer Olympics was held on 5 August 2021 at the Nippon Budokan. [1]
The competition began with a two-pool round-robin stage followed by a single elimination stage. Each pool consisted of five athletes, with those positioned 1st and 4th seeded to Pool A, and those positioned 2nd and 3rd to Pool B. The athlete that finished first in Pool A faced the athlete that finished second in Pool B in the semifinals, and vice versa. There were no bronze medal matches in the kumite events. Losers of the semifinals each received a bronze medal. [2]
However, the inclusion of an EOR athlete led to this particular event having 11 competitors. As a result, Pool B had six competitors and 15 bouts in total.
All times are in local time (UTC+9).
