Karate One Youth League Manila 2026 - Oswin 🥈
Youth League 銀牌得主Oswin,馬尼拉站唯一一位香港選手闖入決賽,今次係Oswin第一次參加世界水平嘅比賽。
同組有8個地區嘅選手,Oswin喺首輪及4強賽事中,對手都率先得分,而獲得先手優勢,喺落後情況,Davi教練同Oswin都保持冷靜,觀察同分析得分策略,最終分別以3:1,4:0,5:4勝出頭3場賽事,進入決賽,對手係嚟自吉爾吉斯嘅選手。決賽中,同對手有來有往,對手對控制距離做得好好,而且進攻時機準確,Oswin最後不敵,取得亞軍,但已經係非常難得。
其實喺哩塊銀牌背後,Oswin付出努力唔少,佢曾經懷疑過自己,經歷過打極都拎唔到分,對得分失去信心。哩段時間教練陪佢一齊企返起身,每星期練5日,其中一日練三節時間,同時兼顧學業,經過一年多嘅練習與調整,重整心態同技術組合後,打法逐漸成形,表現亦趨穩定,哩段時間對於一位U14嘅青少年嚟講,絕對唔輕易。
Silver Medalist of the Youth League, Oswin, was the sole Hong Kong athlete made the final. With competitors from eight different regions in his group, this marked Oswin‘s first participation in a world-level tournament.
In both the opening round and the semi-final matches, his opponents scored first, gaining the advantage of priority. Facing a deficit, Coach Davi and Oswin both remained calm, observing and think about the opportunities to score. Ultimately, they won the first three matches with scores of 3:1, 4:0, and 5:4 respectively, advancing to the final against a competitor from Kyrgyzstan. The final was a back-and-forth contest, but the opponent controlled the distance excellently and had precise timing in his attacks. Oswin eventually succumbed, securing the runner-up position, which is still a very great achievement.
Actually, behind this silver medal, Oswub put in a lot of effort. He once doubted himself, going through a period where he struggled to score no matter how much he fought, losing confidence... During that time, we stay with him and get back on his feet. After more than a year of practice and adjustment, training five days a week with one of those days involving three sessions, and restructuring his mindset, his found his fighting style, and his performance became more stable. Additionally, simultaneously balancing his studies is truly not easy for a U14 youth athlete.
