On October 18, the first official karate competitions after the start of the war were held in Zaporizhia!
About 100 athletes from 5 regions of Ukraine — Zaporizhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Kyiv, and Odessa — gathered to show character, skill, and true fighting spirit!
This tournament was made possible thanks to the financial and organizational support of the Zaporizhzhia Heart Charity Foundation ❤️
We sincerely believe that sport is the path to unity, development, and faith in the future.
Thank you to all the athletes, parents and fans for your support, energy and incredible atmosphere!
🏆 The absolute champion is David Shatokhin (Legion club, coach Denis Krylovsky), who won the main prize of UAH 20,000!
💖 Special thanks to the tournament organizers - the CONCORDIA club and head coach Anatoly Mykhailenko for their tremendous work, inspiration, and love for their work, a path he began at the age of 4 and continues to this day.
We also express our gratitude to the All-Ukrainian Karate Federation, judges, volunteers and partners for their support and assistance in holding the competitions.
Together we bring back sport, joy and faith in the future! 🥋🔥
