VVSU student wins international taekwondo competition

Darina Bogatyryova, a third-year student of the VVSU College of Service and Design, won five prizes at the Taekwondo World Cup in Kazan. At the international competition, the student represented not only Vladivostok and her native university, but also the entire Primorsky Krai.

 The strongest athletes from 16 participating countries competed for the medals and status of the Taekwondo World Cup winner. Darina performed brilliantly and achieved the highest results:

1st place – special technique – high kick

1st place – special technique – team competition.

2nd place – personal Hyeong (23 exercises).

2nd place – personal stop point.

3rd place – personal sparring.

– I spent six days at the training camp and two days at the competition and, frankly, it was hard both mentally and physically. My family and friends as well as my teachers supported me. They are genuinely happy about my achievements, Darina Bogatyryova shared. – I am not going to stop there; in November, I am flying to the Russian Championships, where my goal is to achieve the title of Master of Sports. I am satisfied with the results of these competitions, it was interesting to compete with athletes from other countries, there was a crazy competition in all disciplines.
