Seniors – Report

Local fighters set the standard at the 2019 edition of the Israel International Taekwondo Open, which was held in the city of Ramla last weekend, after clinching 5 titles in the Senior category of the event.

Germany finished in second place of the medal count after bagging no less than 4 titles, two more than Croatia and Russia, who also performed at a very high level, collecting a total of 2 golds.

Greece, Cyprus and Mexico were the other nations to step on top of the final podium with 1 title each.

The 5 Israelian athletes who tasted gold at home were: Ori Patishi, who proved to be the best fighter in Men’s -54 kg after defeating his compatriot Haimovitz in the crucial fight of the draw; Daniel Coichman, who got rid of another member of the Israel National Team such as Rogozhine to grab the Men’s -58 kg title; Nimrod Krivishkiy, who beat Pilavakis from Cyprus in the Men’s -68 kg final to taste glory at home; Rivka Bayech, who got rid of Kouttouki from Cyprus in the gold medal match of the Women’s -46 kg division; and Abishag Semberg, who proved to be stronger than Georgiana from Romania in the last fight of the Women’s -49 kg draw.
