On Thursday the 14th of October the Irish team flew out to compete at the Kong Sao World Championships 2010 in Mikolow, Poland.
The team had 14 competitors, coach Harry Thompson, assistant coach Seamus Jordan and many support friends and family, all of whom were invaluable.
Friday morning seen the team up early and get a little training in, the remainder of the day was a settling in day for the team, where we had a rest from the travelling and the event meetings were held. The event organisers were very professional and had drawn up rules and regulations that seemed fair and based on safety and fair play.
There was a large cross section of competitors from a great variety of countries. The first day was the eliminations to the final four, almost the entire team made it through to the finals on Sunday after a challenging day of competition.
Sunday finals brought huge challenges for us all but we rose to meet it head on and did our country proud.
We finished our day exhausted and brought home 14 medals, 4 of which were gold.
Well done to the whole irish team, it was a honor and a privilage to compete and travel with every member of the team.
