With over 300 entries, (adults and Juniors 1998-1999) the European Championship in Georgia will be almost as big as it was last year in Poland. -and that was a remarkably high number of contenders. This will also for many of the profiles be the first international tournament since the World Championship 2015. New weight categories do we also have, and that bring some new set ups among the fighters..

Heavy weight +65 kg 17 fighters

In the heaviest category among women, we have the current world champion, and three times European champion ⇐Szepesi Csenge, Hungary. Hungary has good tradision with great fighters as world champion Veronika Szovetes and Edit Abraham. Being world champion, makes Csenge favorite, but with 16 others in the division, it will be tough as always. But a place on the podium we strongly believe in.

.

Lithuanian fighters, ⇐ Nora Vaznelytė and Brigita Gustaitytė, will hunt the podium, and they do have the capacity to reach it. Both have good track records, and Nora Vanzelytè was the one who made the final in 2015, where she then met Csenge and became runner up. Brigita Gustaitytė fought in the KWU World Championship 2015, and became the runner up in the heavy weight. Losing the final, in a very questionable decision against a homefighter.

,

Poland also send two fighters, ⇐ Agata Winiarska (Kaliciak)  and Anna Bojda. Agata Winiarska (Kaliciak) with the best results up to now, Bojda not far behind. Agata Winiarska (Kaliciak) manage to reach 3rd place last year, and was runner up in 2013 and in 2014.

Represented Poland in the 11th World Championship 2015. We think this could be one of the challengers to the EC title.

Sweden, Sara Hägge, (Right ⇓) winner of Swedish Open, Danish Open, Scottish Open, Branko Bosnjak memorial, Runner up Diamond Cup 1st West European Open. This could be the year the Swedish fighter reach the podium, in a strong category.
