12 medal events were contested. Eight of these events were in Kyorugi (four per gender). This edition marked the premiere of the pomsae events. These events were added after the request of the Organizing Committee as it understood that the chances of medal at this sport were very low for the host country.[2] A total of 140 athletes were scheduled to compete.[3]
