2018 ACT INTERNATIONAL OPEN (16-18th FEB) - RESULTS

26 Budokan athletes competed in 35 divisions at the 2018 ACT International Open winning 19 medals:7 x Gold, 3 x Silver, 9 x Bronze medals plus 8 x 5th and 5 x 7th placings.Whilst we had 6 more athletes and 9 more divisions covered in 2017, the total and Gold medal tallies this year were the same, which is pretty encouraging. Well done to all our athletes and special mention to the athletes who competed for the first time in their new age categories.  Detailed results of the competition are attached to this Newsletter. On average, our athletes won almost 60% of their matches. With 19 medals won and an additional 8 athletes fighting in Bronze medal matches, over 3 out of 4 divisions covered by Budokan athletes resulted in medal matches fought for those athletes, a great result. With a little more experience, many of those matches will be converted to medals in the future.Photo - Junior Boys and Girls (from left Sam Lobsey, Crosby Peake, Bianca Tandean, Max Zollinger)
