Congratulations to the participants as they held on great in this unusually strong field with very high standards! Seeing our people to compete in the finals of children kata were enormous achievements as due to contractions in these categories they had to start from 60 athletes competing in the same category. Similarly, in kumite they had to fight 5-6 rounds before they got to the finals. It must be added that Enikő Bodnár was not able to stand for the final due to injury in her ankle.
