Winner Unsu

[@KaratedoFocus]

Hey Adriana, thanks for your comment, glad you liked the Unsu - all karatekas from the Czech Republic were exceptionally prepared!

Super CZ team....jste borci...klucíí

As a SKIF practitioner and judge, I would have put the unsu in 3ed place. The winner was good but had two major mistakes that for me made it hard to pick between him and the guy in third place. But I am looking for SKIF things and that might be why... but that Unsu was not a silver medal to me, poor timing and overdone theatrical movements, are big mistakes in my book (but the jump was nice).

Thanks a lot for your comment, appreciated. Perfecting the technics is a long way, lots of work. Competition helps to bring out our maximum - sometimes with better, sometimes with worse results. Also can be many differences between organizations, that's normal :)

Winner should have been unsu tbh

Hey RPD75, thanks for your comment - I somewhat agree, the Unsu was quite nice, but trust me this time: the winner Gojushiho sho was REALLY nice, I had no bad feeling about the decision :)
