Karate sensation: TG Schweinfurt conquers Ebern with 27 medals!
Today the karate department of the Schweinfurt gymnastics community reports on an impressive performance at the Bavaria-wide open district championship and the junior tournament in Ebern. With a total of 27 medals, including 10 gold, 7 silver and 10 bronze, TG Schweinfurt took second place in the medal table among 21 participating clubs. An outstanding result that underlines the excellent quality and breadth of the team - even though four top performers were missing, as coach Thomas Zatloukal emphasized.
The joy of karate, a martial art that has its roots in the Ryukyu Kingdom and is characterized by striking techniques as well as throwing and joint locking techniques, can be felt in Schweinfurt. Karate means “empty hand” and has a long history dating back to the 14th century, when Chinese fighters brought their techniques to Okinawa. Today, between 50 and 100 million people practice the sport worldwide, and karate has continued to enjoy great popularity in recent years, especially since it became part of the 2020 Olympics. [Wikipedia] provides a detailed insight into the development and different styles of this fascinating martial art.
Successes of young talents
The successes of TG Schweinfurt are reflected not only in the medals, but also in the individual performances of the athletes. Jingni Li won the U10 -30 kg age group and also secured gold in the kata team together with Hannah Landgraf and Fiona Zhou. Leo Tille climbed to the top of the podium in the student +38 kg category.
The team was also impressive in the older age groups: Astrid Wiegand and Anastasia Just won the Kumite in the U16 -/+61 kg and U18 -/+66 kg classes. Hanna Rostiahai impressed by taking first place in two categories, both in her weight class (-/+68 kg) and in the open class. Patrick Janson crowned his appearance in the master class over 35 with a title. Don't forget the young talent: Sophie Rausch won gold in the U12 +36 kg category.
Atmospheric togetherness
The rousing atmosphere during the competition was fueled by the support of parents, friends and fans. Department head Martin Schleyer not only gave a positive summary of the sporting achievements, he also highlighted the great community in the club, which was particularly evident on this day. Team spirit is an important element that contributes to success.
The performances in such important competitions show that the TG Schweinfurt karate department has a good knack for talent and can build on a strong foundation. The future looks bright for karateka in Schweinfurt, and we can eagerly await what the upcoming tournaments will bring. The passion and commitment of the athletes are definitely a pleasure for all karate fans!
