Year 3 Pupil wins Gold at WKU English Open National Team Qualifiers

St Gabriel's is delighted to celebrate the recent success of Year 3 pupil Sophie C, who demonstrated incredible skill and determination at the WKU (Western Karate Union) English Open National Team Qualifiers in Worcester on Sunday, 26 January 2025.

Competing against talented athletes from across the country, Sophie secured a gold medal in the Kata event, marking a significant milestone not just for herself but also for her club, Nemesis Martial Arts. This victory is especially momentous as it represents the first time her club has ever won a medal in this discipline—an outstanding achievement that showcases Sophie’s dedication and hard work.

Sophie also competed in two points categories during the event, where she fought valiantly and placed 4th, narrowly missing the medal podium. Despite this, her overall performance was nothing short of exceptional and a testament to her resilience and competitive spirit.

Congratulations to Sophie on her fantastic achievement. We are incredibly proud of her efforts and look forward to seeing her continue to grow and succeed in her martial arts journey.
