Second day belonged to sparring, both juniors and seniors. All of our 4 members fought in this cathegory – Linda Deutschová in female junior sparring up to 48 kg, Bára Sýkorová in female junior sparring up to 60 kg, Hoang Huy in male senior sparring up to 54 kg and Tomáš Bobek in male senior sparring 80kg and above. Linda got 3rd place and Bára second. Tomáš fought great battles in the highest senior weight cathegory (but he is about 70 kg only!!!) and a brozne medal belongs him in equity. Hoang Pepa Huy desired to finally win medal from a European Championship, but unfortunately his eyebrow got torn during first match. National team´s doctor MUDr. Milan Svoboda did fast dressing and Hoang Huy was able to finish the match as a winner. Before semi-final match, the doctor sewed his eyebrow and Hoang defeated the next opponent – from France now. But regarding his wound, his final opponent won without fight. Great silver medal belongs to Hoang Quang Huy.
Female junior team has added 2nd place in special techniques and 3rd places in sparring and power breaking (Linda and Bára). Tomáš wasn´t able to help senior male team because of his injured leg, but his colleagues practiced great and as they only team were able to achieve the highest score in special techniques (15 points).
The participation of Czech national team was very succesful:
