RESULTS: 2008 BTCB London Open Championship

Team Gurumu have just return from the 2008 BTCB London Open Championship that took place at Tooting Leisure Centre on Sunday 5th October 2008.

As it was a regional championship, Gurumu had a very high interest by its members who wanted to compete. The team mainly consisted of novice fighters with a hand full of Gurumu Elite fighters.

The Gurumu Elite Fighters used this championship as a warm up round before they compete at the Ultimate Open Championship that is due to take place on the 12th October 2008 in Mansfield at the Metro Dome Leisure Complex.

Although the team consisted of many novice fighter, the entire squad performed exceptionally well with a lot of Star Performances from both our novice and elite fighters.

With a great performance the team managed to win an astonishing 14 Gold, 16 Silver and 8 Bronze medals. With an outstanding team score of 163 points Gurumu Taekwondo lifted the 1st Place Team Award.

The above result would not have been possible if it was not for our excellent coaching and championship management team. Let together thank the Gurumu coaches, Samy GuruNaidu (Head of Team), Harwinder Singh, Manikandan Renganathan, Pirabu Manickam. Also a big thanks to Sajidah Norat (Team Manager), Jayanthi Renganathan, Varnisha Maisuria, Geetha Narayanan and Karthika Narayanan for their excellent work in managing the team and the fights.
