In May the Kin Ryu dragons headed to Sweden to compete in the Budo Nord Cup and training Camp. The team of 15 athletes and 2 coaches travelled to Lund, Sweden to compete in the tough 2 day competition and 2 day camp. The 1st day started with the cadets (14-17yrs) and competing for the club was Lucy Robinson u48kg, Megan Howe u52kg, Rhian Hooker u70kg, Daniil Grishin u50kg, Callum Burke u55kg, Declan Knight u60kg and Louis Rothwell u60kg.
Lucy and Daniil were both fighting up an age band but made excellent starts to the weekend, both winnng a fabulous bronze medal in the cadets. There were no medals for our other cadets but all showed some excellent judo throughout the day.
On day 2 it was the turn of our pre cadets (u15yrs) and our Junior (u21yrs) athletes. Competing for the club was Zara Howe u40kg, Lucy Robinson u48kg, Rebbeca Worrall u57kg, Sebbie Robottom u46kg, Ajin Rubakaran u46kg, Daniil Grishin u50kg, Peter Crawford u73kg, Declan Knight u60kg, Thomas Moore u60kg.
All the athletes fought well and for most this was their 1st taste of international competition. Final results were gold for Zara and bronzes for Daniil and Lucy.
After this it was onto the 2 day training camp and with upto 3 sessions a day this was a tough few days but all the athletes worked hard and got through with a smile on their faces, well done dragons!
