After hard fights with local oriental shopkeepers (I’ve bought really nice T-shirt), harder fights started during Friday morning and finished on Sunday evening – fights for medals. 28 countries, 360 competitors and plenty of organizers working hard to make championship smooth and also trying to send us, not competing in a moment, out of the hall. We were really loud being side with our friends trying to pull them for their maximum. We had drums with strong drummers and lot of other „music“ instruments. Local fans were pulling for national team for Bulgaria so after a while rest of team had created a kind of collusion and were side with each other against Bulgaria.
The most successful team was Russians, we were second and third were (of course) Bulgaria, but you have probably got to know this from our website. To highlight Sonkal members, Bára Lála Sýkorová shew what a great warrior she is and became the most successful female junior competitor of the event. Rest of us – Linda Deutschová, Lucka Kolmanová and Pepa Huy also tried not to lose our faces and got few medals too. I think that this year our results were influenced by the team’s „age-change“, when new faces in team were stressed and don’t have enough experiences, which they will get in a while. But even I had jumped nomo chagi to where I shouldn’t jump it :o)
We left championship on Monday morning, long way in front of us, but in the end tasty Czech meal, we were really looking forward. Way back to home was quite fine (everyone got home, anyone hasn’t immigrated to Bulgaria) a take unbelievable 26 hours. HURAAAAYYY!
