On January 14th & 15th in Paris, 243 fighters – veteran
and youngsters alike – took part in the 282 bouts of the second Savate Assaut Open
Mondial.
Fighters from 13 nations entered: Bulgaria, Cape Verde,
Chile, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Israel, Japan,
Romania, Spain and Ukraine.
This competition took place in atmosphere of cooperation and
sharing (equipment amongst other things) and showed that savate assaut is a
convivial sport with a family spirit where we help one another – a sporting
atmosphere despite a few glitches which will serve as a lesson for next time.
However, nothing overshadowed the performances and awards whose winners were
selected by the General Official Delegate:
Best Style Cup
Veteran, men: Philippe ERCOLINO
Veteran, women: Christelle SAMARY
Youth, men: Jeff DAHIE
Youth, women: Morgane PAGLIARULO
Sporting Spirit Cup

The General Delegate Official also awarded a Courage
Medal to all the children who took part.
All trophies, medals and diplomas will be handed out in
Paris on Saturday 16th June 2012 during the Open Mondial Clubs competition.
