Over the past two weeks, Maltese Taekwondo was represented on the international stage at two major events: the Croatia Open G1 and the Junior European Championships in Switzerland.

Team Malta made an impressive showing at the European Games of Small States, held this year in Riga, Latvia, bringing home three medals from four competitors — a proud moment for Maltese Taekwondo on the international stage.

The Iron Taekwondo senior team, made up of Czarek Odlanicki (-87 kg) and Fergeson Galea (-63 kg), recently took part in the renowned Polish Open G1, one of Europe’s most competitive Taekwondo events. Led by coach Gianluca Barbara, the team faced a tough challenge as they went head-to-head with some of the sport’s elite.
