As a sequel, we take a look at the female division in this year’s open-weight European Championship. With world champions and European champions in the line up, this will not go unnoticed..
The female division has never been harder, there are huge amounts of training the athletes make every day. Open weight tournament also requires special skills for many as they can meet athletes who are considerably larger than themselves.
Many of the participants have good results and achievements. And many have been successful in tournaments, more recently, as a preparation for EC open weight.
