FIRST WAKO WORLD CUP IN BRAZIL

Jarkko Jussila from Finland, one of the very few European fighters who took part  (and got a gold medal!) in the World Cup promoted for the first time by Paulo Zorello and who is just back from Brazil, is really enthusiast about his experience in S.Paulo: “ Since WAKO is planning to have its 2013 World Championships in Brazil, I went there to see how they work.  And  after the beautiful time I had there (the final show was really superb) , I have no doubts that it will be success for WAKO and kickboxing worldwide!”

Gentlemen, that’s more than enough for me, since I know the guy and who is competing everywhere. So he knows. I am then very pleased of informing you that there were 80 fighters in the World Cup  which was  very well organized , with great athletes from Argentina, Uruguay, Finland, Brasil, Chile, Portugal, Spain, Paraguay, Angola. Only categories from -71kg to +91kg in Full Contact, Low Kick and K-1, finals in absolutely fantastic evening gala!  
In the end, Brazil finished first with 6 golds out of 10 finals.
Wishing to give you some  highlights about individual competitions, Brazilian Thiago Michel in K1 Rules 75kg, won his three opponents convincingly demonstrate that it is one of best in class in the world and Finland's Jarkko Jussila, in Low Kicks 71kg, defeating his three opponents by KO , in the best European style of fighting.
