Poreč, otherwise known as the destination of the Judo Festival, for the second time successfully organized another European Cadet Cup where 588 judokas competed.
Six athletes from Croatia made it to the final block, yet, unfortunately they all slipped away from the podium.
Although the local competitors did not manage to win medals, they gave the visitors of the sports hall “Žatika” a reason to cheer.
In the competition of 28 countries, the most successful team was the French national team, which won six gold, one silver and six bronze medals. The Brazilian team took second place with four golds, two silvers and nine bronzes. Competitors from Spain finished in third place overall with one gold, two silver and two bronze.
At the end of April, the Croatian Judo Federation is the organizer of one of the most important events of this calendar year. Olympic, world and European champions are traveling in Zagreb for the European Championship.
