George Barounis [club]

"I started karate when I was nine. And at around 14, I changed to a major club that competes a lot; a strong club in Australia. From there I got good results at the national championships. At 16, I went to my first junior worlds and won bronze there. That's when I got really hooked on competition." (nvrsphr.com.au, 26 Apr 2018)

His father took him to karate lessons. "One day, when I came back from school, my father told me to get in the car, then he drove us to a karate dojo. That was the start. My father did a bit of judo when he was younger but he didn't do anything competitive. I think I was just given the pathway at a young age. I started competing and I was kind of good at it. My brother was competing too, so I was just following in his footsteps." (olympics.com, 25 Jun 2021; nvrsphr.com.au, 26 Apr 2018)

KARATE'S OLYMPIC DEBUT
He was considering retiring from the sport or switching to taekwondo before karate was introduced to the Olympic programme for the 2020 Games in Tokyo. "I thought it was fate. For us karatekas to be able to come back to Japan where karate started and showcase our skills is amazing."

His family relocated from Japan to Australia when he was 18 months old. (olympics.com, 25 Jun 2021; olympics.com.au, 25 Jun 2021)
