– Junior: Friday 5/17. Andrea won 3 matches and lost the carpet final with the European champion Scotsman who however lost the poule final and was not rescued.
– Cadets: Saturday 18/5. Matteo wins three matches, loses the carpet final 1 to 0 against a Kazakh who then loses the poule final without being drawn back.
– U14: Sunday 19/5. Vittoria won the first match, lost the second: when she was drawn back she lost the first. It’s 9th.
The other competing athletes lost in the first round but none due to demerit, some because they found more experienced athletes, others penalized by refereeing errors which however must be accepted despite the remaining bitterness, sport also teaches this: adapting to situations not dependent on own action/will. Athletes: Gabri (U21), Miki and Mati (JU), Jacopo, Saimon, Robi and Silvia (CA), Arianna and Libe (U14).
“A round of applause to all the participants for the excellent education and team/group spirit demonstrated during this trip. Difficult match from all points of view, KCS always ready to get on the tatami to give their best. Congratulations to our athletes who have demonstrated their value, but also thanks to those who remained at the headquarters carrying on the activity” they comment from the club.
