It’s been a few days since the end of the Golden Glove and we can say that it was really a beautiful competition that took place in an atmosphere of friendship and sportiveness that few other international events are able to offer.

An impeccable building set up with 8 tatamis and a giant screen that projected images of previous editions, was the stage that saw numerous competing athletes (about 900 members) of which half foreigners coming from over 18 countries: Austria, Belgium, Holland, England, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Germany, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Liechstein, Serbia.

Special thanks for the success of the organization goes to those who designed and created the event in person, Luca Terrin, President of the Veneto Regione FIKBMS EuropcenterOne Camponogara, the National Board Member of WAKO ITALY, Raffaele Di Paolo, Club ASD Euro Kickboxing of Nicola Traina (member of the organizing committee WAKO) and Oriano De Bei (Italian member of WAKO ITALY referee committee).
