From 13 to 15 November, the Croatia Open – Taekwondo WTF tournament was held in Zagreb. The event counted toward the ranking of the European Taekwondo Union WTF. A seventeen-member representation of Poland took part in the competition. Its lineup included UKS Ilyo Bolesławiec athlete, Kamil Serafin.
Kamil competed in the cadet category (up to 57 kg). He won the final 9:5, thereby claiming the Polish team’s second gold medal (the first went to Michał Łoniewski). In total, our representation won 7 medals in Croatia: two gold, two silver and three bronze.
The Bolesławiec native already has two Polish Championship titles to his name. As a national team representative, he took part in Class A tournaments in Austria and in the European Cadet Championships in Zagreb. In October this year, he qualified for the Polish Junior Championships finals.
