European Cadets Cup in Pitesti, Romania, 26 Apr 2014


 
Unfortunately in the final fight I got caught with an arm lock and injured my elbow. Following advice of my physio I have been withdrawn from the cup in Teplice.
My elbow is in one piece though and I will continue with light training soon.
More time to revise for my GCSEs!

No girls in my weight category so I fought with a few competitors from the heavier weight.
Golden result!

2014 Matsuru Dutch Open Espoir - Eindhoven, 11 January 2014


The new season is on!
The first, quite strong competition abroad this year. A lot of players from Holland, Belgium, Germany and France were fighting for their ranking points. I managed to win all fights by ippon and get to the final. Unlucky in the final with the French opponent.

2013 British Championships(Juniors -44) - Sheffield, 14 December 2013

I am very happy to finish this year with two gold medals in both Cadet and Junior National Championships. This is the end of the calendar year but the beginning of the new season, so after two weeks of Christmas break I will be training hard again... aiming for some more good results.

Flanders Judo Cup - 26 October 2013 (-44 and -40) , Lommel, Belgium

I fought in both -40s and -44s because there was only one person in my weight. This allowed me to gain some experience as I fought people who were bigger than me so I had to adapt a different style of fighting. Even though they were heavier, I won the silver medal only losing to the eventual gold medalist.

XV Warsaw Judo Open 2013, 28 September 2013

This was a very well organised tournament with a lot of good European players. I managed to get on the podium with the bronze medal but I was not completely satisfied with my performance. I won against the gold medallist but then lost the fight leading to the final even though I was ahead with a wazari score.
