Slovak boccia elite took part in the tournament, as the Olympic gold medalist from Rio 2016 in the category of couples BC4 and silver in the category of individuals Samuel Andrejčík, or Martin Strehársky, who won gold in the category of couples at the World Cup 2018 in Liverpool.
Other leading players were Robert Mezík, currently 6th in the world ranking, Robert Ďurkovič, the Golden Olympian of Rio 2016 in the BC4 pair category, but also Tomáš Král, who finished first in the European Championships 2017 category in Portugal.
The team of BASHTO SPORTS also cooperated on the tournament organization - while the owner of the company Ondrej Bašták Ďurán was the technical director of the event, two employees of the marketing department of the company entered the courts as referees. This also shows that the BASHTO SPORTS team is not only producing professional sports equipment, but is also actively involved in Boccia.
The tournament brought surprises, such as the victory of Rastislav Kurilák, who is 21st in the world ranking, over Róbert Mezík. Finally, Kurilák even won first place in category BC2.
We bring some photos also a complete table of results.
The next Boccia tournament in Slovakia will be the international Tatra Cup 2019, which will take place on 13.-17. July 2019 in Liptovský Ján, the organization of which our company will participate irreplaceably. We are very looking forward to it.
