The IFK 5th World Championship are history, the medals and trophies are handed out, many memorable moments, hard fights and impressions. Romania was a good host, attracting more athletes than at the last occasion in 2013, when the tournament was held in the UK. Romania also helped lift the number of athletes significantly, along with countries like Ukraine and Hungary, etc. Russia was as expected dominant,although a few of the fight/ final gave a bad taste and became anti-climax.
Quick results – IFK World Championship
The first day gave us as usually many impressions, and we all know that the second day will be even more exciting. Favorites does as expected, and to the second day everything goes as “planed”, with more or less the expected names in the line up. The level has been significant wide in many of the fights, and together with some “no show” – the day one could be quite different from one fighter to another. Some has pointed out that the British Open 2016 had a higher level in total…well if you reach the top 8 today, you will for sure be a fighter we all want to learn from!
