There were more than 1200 athletes, 270 taekwondo clubs, 62 national teams from Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America.
In her first game, Hristina faced a competitor from England(bronze medalist of European Championship for Cadets in 2011 - Tbilisi / Georgia). The English fighter was totally overplayed with a result 16:6. The second game Hristina won with 5:4 against a competitor from Ukraine, who previously eliminated a girl form Azerbaijan (bronze medalist of European Championship in Paphos / Cyprus in 2011). In this game the referees did not take under account two head kicks that Hristina made. However, she qualified for the finals. In the final, Hristina faced a representative of Scotland, who will represent Britain at the World Cup for Juniors in April this year. In a very equivalent game, in which our girl led the game 5:4 in the third round there was a massive referee mistake - 4 points for the Scottish girl without any head contact. The referees had a very long debate but unfortunately gave points to the opponent. After the game started again, it followed a very rude kick in Hristina’s calf, and she was unable to continue the match due to medical prohibition.
