The Filipina of Japanese origin, Junna Tsukii, won her first major international title in Birmingham (USA). Reigning Asian vice-champion, winner of two Karate 1 (Cairo and Lisbon) in 2021, Junna Tsukii thinks above all of those who have supported her all these years when she has not won.

How is it to win your 1st worldwide gold medal ?

« I am so happy to see the smiles on the faces of people who have always supported me, no matter how many times I lost.

The World Games are very special because it occurs only every 4 years. So, it’s a very special competition.

My body was very tired but I felt very comfortable. I am looking forward to go home and show my medal to everyone in Philippines and Japan. »
