Well done to our team!
We had 13 students taking part in the Flanders Fields tournament in Belgium yesterday. This international event attracts a lot of top competitors, so there was plenty of tough opposition.
We’re proud to have so many of our students push themselves to take part, with four doing so as part of the GTI England Squad.
The final tally was 11 medals: 4 gold, 3 silver & 4 bronze.
We’re really proud of everyone for getting on the mats, including Oli, Raza, Jay, Jacob & Rod, who all came up against tough opponents but still performed well, gaining valuable experience at a high-level competition.
Well done to the whole GTI team. It was a great day of cheering everyone on!
Thank you to our cheering squad for their very vocal support! And a massive thanks to our coaches – especially Nicole, Connor & Callum – for their part in organising the trip and for their dedicated support of our young fighters.
First comp of the year = done. Now onto the next one…
