After the district championships, the junior judoka of JC 66 Bottrop now had the district championships in front of them. What tasks await next.
After the successful district championships, the judo offspring of the JC 66 Bottrop one level higher, namely at the individual district championships in Hörstel. Of the 17 who qualified, 15 were able to fight for titles in the age groups U11 and U13 last weekend.
With Bilal Saydulaev (-31kg, U13) and the U11s Daniel Müller (-23kg), Nikita Sychevskyi (-27kg) and Mansur Edilov (-31kg) four young fighters did it. All four won each of their fights early by ippon. Silver medals went to Emma Kuhlmann (-44kg, U11) and John-Lukas Patz (-34kg, U13). Both only had to admit defeat to the tournament winner.
There is also bronze for the JC 66 Bottrop
The Pirates’ haul of medals was perfected with bronze by Jakob Hirschfelder (-37kg), Paul Wörsdörfer (-40kg) and Noe Schneider (-43kg, all U13). While Kyana Sky Rieke (-36kg), Balthasar Borowski (-34kg), Rob Nadrjan (-40kg, all U11) and Ganika Nadjan (-40kg, U13) took fifth place, Emil Fehrholz (-43kg) and Altay Alp ( -55kg, U13) empty.
The U13s in the top five qualify for the highest level, the Westphalian Championship on June 18th. “Let’s see if we can do so well there again. Until then, however, the motto is: stay busy and train, train, train!” says JC Bundesliga fighter Eugen Müller, who this time helped out in the U11s as a supervisor and coached alongside coach Sven Helbing. He said: “It’s nice that the kids often get in touch and relate to the big fighters. After all, they are the role models and at some point the little ones want to be on the Bundesliga mat.”
JC 66 Bottrop: Coaches are satisfied
The trainers were very satisfied with the performance, even if there is still one or the other technique that needs to be improved. “Of course, the children are far from finished in their development. There is always something new to learn. I really liked the appearance. Above all, off the mat we have grown into a real team. And the fact that integration also works great for us can be seen from the many different countries of origin of our JC pirates. With Armenia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Turkey and Chechnya, a lot was there in addition to the German kids. And everyone gets along like friends. That’s how it should always be in judo and, if possible, beyond that,” says Helbing happily.
