Carla Wins Gold In Berlin

During the February half term, three of our elite squad, Carla Rudkin-Guillen, James Arnold and Louis Naraine travelled to Germany to compete in the Berlin International Open Championships. After our success in Lisbon the belief of success was high. Louis and James both fought very well and just lost out on bronze medals. The pair gained valuable International experience as Louis had six rounds whilst James had three.
Young Carla, was on top form throughout the day, and after five flawless katas, I have pleasure in announcing that she won the -12yrs category to become the ‘Berlin International Open Champion’ On her way to gold, Carla beat National representatives of both Russia and Ukraine. Carla also performed four great katas in the -14yrs category, ending up in 7th place. Nine katas in total!
This result is a milestone for Carla’s International career and will give her a massive boost for the forthcoming USA Open in Las Vegas at the end of March.
Well done TEAM SEKF, especially Alan and Angela who helped in Berlin and our squad parents for all their support throughout the day via WhatsApp.

TEAM SEKF!
