Opening loss for Sara, but plenty of experience in big competitions
The World Cup competitions for cadets, i.e. under 15-year-olds, took place in Uzbekistan on August 7-10. Sara had earned her place in the team and fought for medals in the +58kg girls' category. In response, Sara received Taipei's I-Chin Chun, who eventually advanced to the medals in the competition. Sara opened the match well, but in a fast-paced match, the points eventually turned in Taipei's favor.
However, Sara gained valuable experience and good speed towards the upcoming European Championships!
