Sunday April 21st
The morning was busy. Wim Vermeir and Hans Rombaut were the first ones in the ring, in pattern 4-6 degree. Wim did great, but a small mistake made him lose over Denmark. Hans won the first bout against Hungary, facing Italy in the second round, which unfortunately he lost although in our opinion he deserved to win.
Rune faced Austria in tul, he was a bit nervous, so the austrian competitor won the bout.
Alyssa had to step in the ring for sparring. She really fought with her heart, beating Spain and Romania and facing Finland in the third round. Both girls were quite equal, the win could go to each side, but in the end Finland took it. Alyssa so just missed the podium.
The afternoon started with male power breaking. Hans was one of the few competitors to break with punch, but he injured himself and could not do the other techniques fully.
Altan went straight to the second bout, where he faced an experienced irish competitor, multiple champion. Altan fought as a lion, but on his first EC he could not beat experience. But, the future will be his.
The last event was team power breaking for the female team. They did so well and achieved the bronze medal.
