Most recently, Witten’s U-18 and U-21 juniors were challenged at the state championships in Herne and delivered strong performances that were rewarded with several medal wins.
For the U-18 juniors, SUA coach Stefan Oldenburg was impressed by the strong performance of youngster Kiran Pawellek. In his first year in this age group, he was completely carefree, surprised with good performances and took undisputed first place in the 46 kg group and thus his ticket to the DM in Leipzig (March 2nd/3rd). “Kiran had already fought really well in previous tournaments, he has made a big leap recently,” said Oldenburg about the national champion, who won the final in just 59 seconds.
