There were five competitors in the 94 kg category, but finally the French judoka was verified in a higher category. This gave the contestants three fights between them. Andrzej’s first fight with the Iraqi representative lasted almost 15 minutes (the regular fight time is two minutes) and ended in a 12:12 draw, pointing to the opponent. Subsequent fights with Indian and Iraqi players ended with a total of 14:0 points (earned in advance) in favor of Andrzej. The category was very tight since everyone won two fights. After three games, Andrzej finally collected the most points (40 points, 28 points, 26 points, 0 points), taking first place (the list at the end of the gallery). It was a day of extraordinary emotions, intense battles and uncertainty until the very end.

The WSJJ gold medal completes the 10-month preparation period that began in January before the Judo and then Ju-Jitsu World Championships. A tough training cycle resulted in a gold record, although there was some dissatisfaction after the Krakow tournament. An interesting fact is that Andrzej at the beginning of the year weighed 100 kg, and at the official weigh-in in Abu Dhabi he weighed 91 kg. Only in the last 4 days he has lost up to 4 kg

The Polish j-jitsu association is currently going through a difficult period due to the lack of funding for national team travel by the Ministry of Sports. At this point, one of the best teams in the world is grounded and the only chance to compete in international tournaments is to cover travel costs with your own funds. Since a trip to the Arab Emirates was associated with spending almost 10,000 zlotys, no one decided to participate in the World Cup. This is where the strategic sponsor of the club – the company #Beskid #Sport #Arena, came into action, which pledged to cover the costs of the trip.

– It is truly remarkable how big-hearted the BSA Board of Directors is – comments the authorities of the club.
