Hedvig Karakas: the best junior judoka of the year

In Düsseldorf at the EJU Congress Gala Dinner awards were given for the best senior judoka, and for the junior judoka.

In the senior category, Ivan Nifontov (RUS) and Morgane Ribout (FRA) have won the honour to become EJU Best Judoka of the year.

Both judoka were chosen by the EJU Sports Commission because of their fantastic year based on championships all over the world, not making a difference between European or World Wide events. 

In the junior category, the Sports Commission decided to award the honours to Lukas Krpalek (CZE) in the men’s division and Hedvig Karakas (HUN) in the women’s division.

Both fighters had an outstanding year. Krpalek extended his world junior title recently in Paris and Hedvig Karakas won bronze at the Senior World Championships and won the U20 World and European title.
