    Makhachkala, September 18, 2011. The Italian city Libyano Sabbiadoro hosted the European Kickboxing Championship among juniors in six sections under the sanction of the WAKO. As to the source in Izberbash municipal administration 25 Dagestan athletes have been included into the Russian combined team representing the country at the championship. The pupils of Izberbash Oriental Martial Arts Club "Tiger" demonstrated good results. In total, the tournament was attended by about 1,500 athletes from 30 countries.


    The Russian team won the tournament first team place, leaving behind all the key competitors. It is gratifying to note that kickboxers from Dagestan made the most significant contribution to the common fund of the Russian team, winning 21 medals: 9 gold, 7 silver and 5 bronze. By the way, Dagestan sportsmen acted in the most severe kinds such as "K-1", "low-kick" and "full-contact."
