Golden Glove 2016 international cup

GLOVE FOR THE BEST

The Golden Glove 2016 is over and we can say that it was really a beautiful competition. It was full of atmosphere of friendship and sportiness.

A sport hall was covered with 8 squares and there was a giant screen where audience could see projected images of previous editions. Sport hall was full of numerous competing athletes (about 900 members) from over 18 countries: Austria, Belgium, Holland, England, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Germany, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Liechstein, Serbia.

Special thanks for the successfull organization goes to those who designed and created the event: Luca Terrin, President of the Veneto Regione FIKBMS EuropcenterOneCamponogara, the National WAKO ITALY board member Raffaele Di Paolo, Club ASD Euro Kickboxing Nicola Traina (member of the organizing committee WAKO) and Oriano de Bei (Italian member of WAKO ITALY referee board ).

The Golden Glove promoters prepared a total prize money of 8,000 Euro and a sponsorship given by global brand TOP TEN which has provided free to all winners a pair of gloves depending on the specialty.

On the competition it was used SPORTDATA system. Sportdata fabulous staff, including brothers Alex and Jhon Engelhardt WAKO Netherland, allowed to display in real time on the web: boards, results, awards and live streaming.

This technology truly represents the future in sports as tatami.
The two-day race began with two internships held respectively by the team of Master Istvan Kiraly for point fighing and Manuel Nordio and Ivan Sciolla for the light, which was attended by about thirty athletes each.
At Saturday there were fights took place in all categories of kick light and point fighting: the team Istvan Kiraly dominated in the 5 competitions of teams taking home 2,500 Euros while in the individual disciplines Italians have achieved great results.

The best Grandchampion female finale fight was between Martina Rossi and Hungarian Henrietta Nagy with the victory of Italian fighter. On the other side, Grandchampion men finale was between two Hungarians, Moradi Zsolt and Gombosh Laszlo, where was better Gombosh Laszlo.
Another thanks can only go first to the staff who with excellent work has enabled the smooth running of the competition and than to the referees with high commitment and passion, who ensured high professionalism in the WAKO.
