“On this occasion, the call was overshadowed by the acephaly that is observed in the Federation, which will regularize its situation next Saturday, April 20 in an ordinary assembly called by the same General Inspection of Justice; since assemblies have not been organized since August 2013, observing a large number of irregularities that have been reported by the association that organized this competition. Despite this, there was a tournament with very close fights, which served as experience for the different athletes who participated and seek to represent Chubut in the next national championships,” said the UAAM representatives.
The jury was made up of table officials Professor Gilda Garnica, Priscilla Appiolaza and Angel Nehuen Colina, while the fights were refereed by Professor Pablo Cosentino (the only one with South American rank in the province).

The “Fiorella Garnica Cup” to the team that obtained the most gold medals during the competition was in the hands of the UAAM, while second place went to FJU., and third to the Constructores Club Social y Deportivo (which made its debut in this sport).
The organization highlights the strategic support provided by the Ente Comodoro Deportes, which collaborated with the nursing service, the loan of the sports venue, the podium and other furniture, as well as the transportation of the Federation’s tatami.
Now, the organizing association is quickly preparing to hold its ordinary assembly on Sunday, April 14 at 4 p.m. (convened through the Official Gazette of Chubut) in order to elect new authorities – both in the Board of Directors and in the Review Committee of Accounts – as well as to analyze and approve the Report and the 2023 Accounting Year. This demonstrates institutional regularity and a great capacity for organization and activity, under the presidency of Professor Pablo Saúl Cosentino, who hopes to hand over to another active partner the main position of driving.
