Family meal
After the medal presentation, the entire children’s and cadet team traveled with their families to a nearby park to celebrate the traditional family meal of the two categories. “We understand that those who jump onto the tatami do not do it alone since they could not achieve it without the support of all their teammates and family, so this joint celebration is part of the championship,” they say.
