What a day at the WKO European Championships 🖤💛
Today we took 10 fighters to compete, sadly one of our team took poorly so we had 9 fighters step onto the mats.
And what a team they were.
We came away with:
🥇 2 Golds
🥈 10 Silvers
🥉 3 Bronzes
But honestly, today was about so much more than medals.
This was probably one of the toughest competitions our fighters have had to date. The standard was absolutely unreal and you 100% had to fight for every win. Nothing was handed out today, every round had to be earned.
For some of our fighters, this was their first time stepping onto a competition mat and we are so proud of them. It was a shame to see one or two rookie categories with people in them who clearly weren’t rookies, and yes, there were a couple of questionable decisions along the way… but that is part of the sport. You take it, you learn from it, and you come back stronger.
Every single one of our fighters showed heart, respect, courage and team spirit today. They supported each other, pushed themselves, and represented Eastcoast amazingly.
Whether you won gold, silver, bronze, or didn’t medal today we are proud of you. Days like this build fighters. They build character. They build confidence.
Massive well done to our whole fight team, parents and supporters. A big thankyou to Ellis for doing an amazing job helping me corner always a pleasure to work with you.
Long, tough, but an incredible day.
Eastcoast showed up today 💯🖤💛
