Athletes from Karelia returned with triumph from Mexico, winning the “gold”

Representatives of the regional kickboxing Federation successfully performed at the WKU World Cup Panamerican, which was hosted by Mexico in mid-October (from 15 to 17). The funds for the trip of Karelian athletes were collected literally by the entire republic.

As told in the official public of Karelian Thai boxing, the trip was 100% effective. The fighters won absolutely all the awards of the highest standard, for which they crossed the ocean.

Excellent training was demonstrated by Stepan Pankrat, who performed in the weight category up to 60 kg. After three fights, he won in all, replenishing his piggy bank with three gold medals.

In addition, the athlete’s mentor Ivan Andrienko entered the ring. The coach personally took part in the tournament and twice climbed to the top step of the podium.
