Anna Jagiełło and Leszek Piąstka, representing Academic Sports Club of the University of Lodz, took fourth place in the Kodokan Goshin Jutsu competition. They missed few points to the third place. On the way to the finals and in the finals, the Polish pair defeated excellent pairs, among others, World and European Championship medal winners from Spain, Belgium and Italy.
This is another high position of players from Lodz in the World Championships after the 7th place in Chungju (Korea 2019) and the 5th place in Cancun (Mexico 2018). Anna Jagiełło and Leszek Piąstka are extremely titled sportsmen. They are the current bronze medal holders of the European Championship (Józefów 2021) and the current double Polish Champions.
At the World Championships in Lisbon, the bronze medal (also historical – the first in history) was also won by Aleksandra Masternak and Patryk Urban in the Nage no Kata competition.
The competition of this rank was held after a two-year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the still ongoing restrictions, more than 200 athletes from 26 countries around the world participated in the event in Lisbon.
