Alex T Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I know this is not Husky related - but ... This weekend just gone, my 9year old daughter (Jasmine) entered the 17th Houvast Tournament held in Mierlo Holland representing GREAT BRITAIN. She has entered this for the past 4 years and has always been unlucky. However, this year she annihilated her opponents and had already won the GOLD medal after 3 of her fights (5 in total)! I have never been so proud of my kids. Unfortunately other members of our club were not so fortunate - why do foreign ref's have to be so biased against the British? We should have easily bought home another 4 medals, but the refs were just refusing to give scores to our fighters throws . Below are videos of her fights: http://youtu.be/fsOT4A1sLo4 http://youtu.be/rRIAOSr4YXA http://youtu.be/UtXEX8-3te0 http://youtu.be/-ruyV9oqY30 Her Sensei wrote the following to her inside a card "You came true in the end after 4 years of trying! You did what you were shown and Ipponed everyone of your fights! No room for referee error - ONE GOLD for the MEIJI of GREAT BRITAIN" Edited May 16, 2012 by Alex T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex T Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 what a brilliant thing for her!!!! You must be bursting with pride!!!! I still get overwhelmed just thinking about it at the moment. I've never seen her fight like that in all the years she's been training! Just to add - I've never celebrated soo hard either - we drank the hotel bar out of Vodka!!!
