Two days full of emotions, hard fights till the last seconds made the atmosphere of the tournament just amazing.

First day of competition on the schedule was 140 fights of juniors and seniors male and females categories running on the 3 rings. We had more than 18 fighters in one category. Some of fighters had to win 4 fights to reach the finals.

From women fighters, Lucia Cmarova from Slovakia defended her title amazing 5th time in the row!

For the first time the organizer awarded the same prize money in the amount of 1000 euros for the first place of men and women winners in seniors categories, who also received special award the BELT. For the first time junior categories were awarded with the belt too.
