On Saturday, April 12, the international WTF Taekwondo Tournament – 10 Oberlausitz Cup was held in Bautzen, Germany. It was organized by the Lower Saxony Regional Taekwondo Association. Nearly 150 athletes from the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland took part in the competition, including an 18-member Lower Silesian team with nine athletes from UKS Ilyo Bolesławiec.

In the tournament’s overall standings, the Lower Silesian team took first place, winning a total of 10 gold, 6 silver and 1 bronze medal.
