Karman was the flag bearer for Turkey in the opening ceremony of 1936 Olympic Games.[2] He competed in two disciplines: alpine skiing and cross-country skiing.[3] In alpine skiing, he competed in the combined event – the only alpine competition. After the downhill he was ranked 59th, out of the classified alpine skiers he was only ahead of his compatriot Reşat Erceş.[4] In the slalom, he was disqualified,[5] leaving him unclassified.[6] In cross-country skiing he finished 72nd in the 18 km event.[3] He also competed in the 4 × 10 km relay, but he and his team recorded a DNF.[3]
