Second time in Slovenia

Nine of brave Sonkal guys and one brave non-competing driver travelled to Ljubljana in Slovenia to compete at Ljubljana Open 2018.

Firstly, ou

r journey started at 9 am when two cars went to the capital of Slovenia. Jirka Novák, Kristýna Balcarová, Martin Schwáb, Edita Zelinková with Jirka Faltin as a driver were travelled by the first car. Moreover, the second car was occupied by Ondra Faltin, Honza Veškrna, Aneta Zelinková, Lenka Hrstková with Mrs. Petra Veškrnová as a driver as well.

The journey was long and exhausting, thanks to the traffic lights and rush hour around the city called Znojmo as well as Vienna we finally arrived at 9:30 pm. Having been registered and weighed, we checked-in a hotel and we also had lunch. Eating pizza was not enough for some members of your group and these guys went to the nearest McDonald for the second round.

After Saturday breakfast we went to the sports hall where we played basketball and we did few patterns as well to warm up. The competition was one hour delayed because of the long-lasted registration process.

However, there were 290 double starts and 250 competitors from 9 countries taking part of the competition. Everything started by patterns followed by sparring which ended at around 8 pm. In addition to that, thanks to the opportunity of competing in higher age and weigh category we were competing whole the day.

In the end, we managed to get a lot of golden medals from patterns and sparring as well, also thanks to the double starts. At the end of the day we got 15 golden, 6 silver and 4 bronze medals which earned us the 4 place over all. Jan Veškrna was the best junior male was as well as Jiří Novák was the best senior male. The best veteran male was Jirka Faltin. Every member of our club managed to get more than one medal.

Finally, after competition we had lunch in a dining room and everyone had the second round in McDonald as well. On our way home we stopped at the Bled Lake where we walked a bit to find how clear water is in there. What is more, the water was so clean that we could see the bottom of the lake. Our journey was finished in a pizzeria in Prague, Černý Most.
