Nearly 500 children from 27 clubs from Romania and Bulgaria competed for the honors at the second open "Kano" tournament in Ruse.
The competition was for adolescents from 6 to 21 years old. Deputy Mayor Dimitar Nedev welcomed the participants.
"Tradition is one of the most difficult achievements in sports - not the record, not the medal, but durability - said the deputy mayor. - You achieved the goal you set yourself last year - the tournament is held in two days and is now international. Thank you for showing with this forum how respect for the opponent, fair fighting and strength of spirit are values that carry far beyond the tatami - in the classroom, in the family, in life."
