Swiss Open 2017 made a new setting, organizing a tournament for children and youth the first day, and following up with the adults next day. The capacity to organize this are notable, and Steinmann Shihan and Swiss Shinkyokushin can be proud! Midori Shihan and Koi Shihan was highly honored guest – all the way from Japan.
Swiss Open has been a well known tournament for many years, for juniors each year, for adults every other year. In 2013 the European Championship was held in there.
Swiss Open had a good support, and several nations attended the tournament. In first hand it was the Junior tournament who (naturally) drew most competitors. We all remember from earlier editions of the Swiss Open seniors tournament, that it was a very strong tournament. Later on the schedule of tournaments in Europe has become very tight, and many tournaments had to make some changes to survive.
This year many nations was in the line up: KAZAKHSTAN, RUSSIA, HUNGARY, BULGARIA, SWEDEN, FRANCE, NEDERLAND, GERMANY, POLAND, UKRAINE, ISRAEL, LITHUANIA, SPAIN, LATVIA, IRAN, SWITZERLAND, ARGENTINA
