Can Tenzing Sherpa save Nepal from an empty-handed karate campaign?

With eight karatekas, including star Arika Gurung and a kata team, eliminated in Nagoya, Sherpa remains Nepal’s sole hope to avoid a medal drought. He faces Macau’s On Tek Leong in the quarterfinal today.

One final chance remains for Nepal’s karate to make sure they do not have to return without a single medal from the 20 th Asian Games. Seven Nepali karatekas have been knocked out of their respective categories until Tuesday.
