Dear European friends!

We thank you for your enthusiasm and contribution in the two last championships. And, we congratulate all your medals. We have one more championships to go, and we hope this last championship will end another successful year.

We repeat again that it is MANDATORY for all participants to bring their SPORTSPASS and MEDICAL CERTIFICATE to our championships. In only a few forgot their medical certificates and we hope that everybody now remember to bring so to . If any medical questions, contact Chief of WAKO Medical Committee, Mr. Reinhard Guschlbauer at reinhard.guschlbauer@stmk.gv.at (not Espen Lund)

Doping tests will be carried out also in , so please help us make our sport clean, which we are about to do. If any questions concerning anti-doping, please contact Mr. Roy Baker at roy.baker@airtricity.com . Otherwise update yourself of the latest “ prohibited list ” . Look at http://www.wada-ama.org/en/prohibitedlist.ch2 .

As always we need good referees and judges. Please help us by sending your best and most experienced referees known to WAKO. Together we will educate the best team ever.

We are looking forward seeing you and all your great sportsmen ready and fit for fight.

Kind regards

World Association of Kickboxing Organizations
