The girls in Istanbul in the women's field of the Junior European Championship, which ends on Monday. In addition to the title defense of Rita Erdős, the team and the relay also earned the gold medal.
On the opening day, Lili Basa and Dorina Dobronyi were the best in the women's relay race. The couple completed the obstacle course with the best result, while they were also the second fastest in swimming, and in the final combined event (run combined with shooting) they maintained their advantage and deservedly won gold.
Then, in the individual final, the defending champion, Rita Erdős, who recently recovered from a serious knee injury, also showed excellent form.
The junior European winner in Barcelona last year also fought well, he completed the obstacle course with one of the best times, and he excelled as usual in the combined event, so he was rewarded with another continental championship title. By the way, Kinga Dulai was fifth, and Laura Gyugyi was tenth, so the Hungarian girls could stand on the top step of the podium as a team.
At the Junior European Championship, which featured 82 competitors from 15 countries, the program featured the obstacle race (OCR) instead of horse riding, and the Hungarian girls participated in this variation as well.
they won gold in each women's event.
The boys had less success, but everyone stood their ground. It is also true that, based on his age, last year's junior world champion Mihály Koleszár or adult Hungarian champion András Gáll, who is currently suffering from an injury, could also have been there at the army review. Of course, it wasn't just us who were missing at this European Championship, as many of the best juniors are still in the saddle and are concentrating on adult competitions and Olympic qualification.
