2025 GTI North West Open: Results

A fantastic day for the team today at the GTI North West Open in Liverpool!

We had a big team of 30 competitors and they did us proud, as usual! They all gave 100% and came away with 39 medals: 17 gold, 11 silver & 11 bronze!


Well done to Dominik, who sparred really well but just missed out on a medal; and to Ben for a really good effort in patterns at his first ever competition.

A special mention also goes to Francis, who was competing for the first time and fought really well to take bronze in sparring. One to watch!


Thanks to everyone who helped out today with setting up, organising and running the event. Well done to all our competitors and a big thank you to our coaches and our awesome cheering squad. What a team!
