SILVER FOR MY MAN!

BAHRI WON SILVER AT THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!

He had a total of five fights, overcoming:

1) Russian = Evgeny Mikushin (4-2)
2) Bosnian = Zarko Mikulic (4-0) Zarko is also an Australian Taekwondo Athlete
3) Netherlands = Patrick Stevens (5-1)
4) Slovenia = Tomaz Zakrajzek (6-2)

Unfortunately he lost the final to Spain's Jon Garcia in a sudden death situation (2-2). None the less silver is an amazing achievement and I AM SOOOOO HAPPY FOR HIM! Thank God - alhumdulliah.

Sadly his sister was not able to produce the same results and retain her championship title. Azize went down in the quarter finals (also in a sudden death situation) to the eventual bronze medallist from Sweden, Lie Kylborne. Since this is also my WTF division I have taken note of the winners. The results are as follows:

Senior female -63kgs

1 = Spain, Muriel Bujalance
2 = Germany, Helena Fromm
3 = Ukraine, Olga Cherkun
3 = Sweden, Lie Kylborne

ALSO:
Senior female -67KGS

1 = Turkey, Sibel Guler
2 = France, Gwladys Epangue
3 = Sweden, Carolin Persson
3 = Norway, Nina Solheim

Anyways its back to the track for us today!!!!! Rain hail or shine....!

WORLD CUP SELECTIONS (-68KGS)

Its been about a month since I last wrote, but to tell you the truth not much has happened other than : training, studying, waking up early for morning sessions and...da da da....I havent eaten a single chip in ONE WHOLE MONTH!!! I have made a promise with someone special (my mum) not to have another chip for the rest of the year.....and i plan to keep it. The lack of fats clogging my arteries should enhance my performance...well so they say:):):)...So now thats no chips, no coke....so what can be next...?

I'm still in the preparatory stage for the World Cup Selections. They are to be held on the 24th June in Melbourne. There will be new divisions in place for this selection, and my division will now range from 61kgs to 68kgs. Having finished a load of assignments my mind feels fresh and ready to give it my all!

QUICK NOTE: My boyfriend and his sister fight this weekend in the European Champs!!! So Im wishing both of them the very best of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have worked extremely hard for this and deserve success. Soooooooooo here's a cheer for TURKIYE!
