On 6\u20137 June 2026, Chi\u0219in\u0103u hosted athletes from across Europe at the GTF Union European Championships. We fielded a six-person team and returned with an impressive haul of medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Chi\u0219in\u0103u \u2013 arrival and sightseeing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We landed in Moldova\u2019s capital on Friday, 6 June. Before the official start of the championships, there was time to get to know the city \u2013 the crowded markets, green parks and atmosphere of an Eastern European capital made quite an impression on us. Chi\u0219in\u0103u welcomed us warmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Championships \u2013 organisation and competition format<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The event was hosted by the Ministry of Education and Research of the Republic of Moldova in cooperation with the National Taekwon-Do Federation of Moldova and the Global Taekwon-Do Federation Union (GTFU). The competition was held at Mane\u017c Sport Arena, 26 Andrei Doga Street, Chi\u0219in\u0103u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The championships programme included both individual events \u2013 patterns (patterns\/tull\/hyong), light-contact and semi-contact fighting (point sparring), special techniques and power breaking tests for seniors \u2013 and team events: team patterns and team light-contact fighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday \u2013 first appearances, first medals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, 7 June, Dariusz Pazdan, Filip Winnicki, Krzysztof Jaworski, Maciej Kowalski and Jakub Lenard stepped onto the mat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first day brought three medals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Monday \u2013 a well-deserved rest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
