Junior European Cup, Austria

Junior Austria is a really tough event. All the top fighters were there and there were over 70 in my group.

Tom Meulensteen (The Netherlands)
I had beat Tom in Portugal but this time I lost by a Wazari. Poor result and there was no way he was going to pull me back into the Repecharge.
