🏛Post longum tempus nūntium dē certātiōne rūrsus habeō. Herī ac hodiē Vindobonae certāvī in Vindobona Bosch 2025. Herī ēnse longō pugnāvī, hodiē acīnacē, et utrāque armā nummum cēpī!
Certātiōnī ēnsis longī leviter ēgregia compositiō erat, quia nōn sōlum ūnus, sed duo congressūs circulōrum fuit. Utrōque circulō omnia certāmina vīcī et tertius fuī ante ēlīminātiōnem. Deinde omnibus certāminibus vīcī praeter ūnā quae paenultimā erat contrā David Piši, quō ēnsem meum frēgī 😢. Ad certāminem aeneam ēnsem novum ā Vojta Popelka mūtuātus sum, propter eī multās grātiās agō, et vīcī.
Certātiōnī acīnacī compositiō commūna erat, id est sōlum ūnus congressus circulōrum. In omnibus certāminibus vīcī. Et in circulō et in ēlīminātiōne, ergō nummum aureum🥇 cēpī, quō multō gaudeō, praecipuē cogitāns cum acīnace nōn vērō exerceō. Et hīc quoque arma mea afflīcta est, sed leviter tantum atque eam ūtī possum.
🇬🇧After a long time, I again have news from a tournament. Yesterday and today I competed in Vienna at Vindobona Bosch 2025. Yesterday with a long sword, today with sabre, and in both weapons I won a medal!
The long sword competition had a bit unusual format, as there was not one, but two rounds of pools. In both pools I have won all bouts, and was third after the pools. I then won all bouts except for one which was the second to the last one against David Piši, where I broke my sword 😢. For the bronze bout I borrowed a new sword from Vojta Popelka, for which I am very grateful, and won.
The sabre competition had a standard format, i.e. single round of pools. I have won in all bouts. Both in the pools, and in the elimination, so I have won the gold medal🥇, for which I am very happy, especially considering I do not really train with sabre. Here too my weapon got damaged, but only slightly, and it is still usable.
