The women's kata competition in Karate at the 2020 Summer Olympics was held on 5 August 2021 at the Nippon Budokan.[1]
Competitors were divided into two pools of 5 or 6, and each took turns to perform two sets of kata in the elimination round. The top-three competitors by average score in each pool advanced to the ranking round, where they performed a third set of kata. The winner of pool A faced the winner of pool B in the gold medal bout. Two bronze medals were awarded in kata events. The runner-up of pool A faced the third-place finisher of pool B in a bronze medal bout, while the runner-up of pool B faced the third-place finisher of pool A in another bronze medal bout.[2]
