She will compete in the non-contact kata competition.
Karate is making its debut at the Tokyo Olympics.
Anacan says she s honoured to represent New Zealand and karate. It means the world to me to be part of this New Zealand Team, said Anacan. I didn t ever dream of going to the Olympics when I started this sport, it s been a bit of a surprise to be honest. There s been a lot of hard work, I can t quantify the hours that me and my sensei have put in, we never could have imagined this but I couldn t be more excited.
