On Saturday afternoon, the Austrian delegation to the European Youth Olympic Games (EYOF) started in Maribor, Slovenia (July 23rd to 29th). The Youth Olympic Team Austria travels by bus from Vienna to Maribor.
Also on board: nine young judoka. They are looked after by the two youth national coaches Bernhard Weißsteiner and Martin Grafl. “Our team is complete and fit. Our goal is to repeat last year’s successes and our dream would be a team medal on Saturday. The athletes are well prepared. For the next few days, you have to prepare yourself mentally for the competition and carry out weight management. Everyone in the team has the potential to fight for a medal,” says U18 coach Martin Grafl.
The judo competitions start on Tuesday in the Lukna Hall in Maribor. The highlight will be the team competition on Saturday.
The Austrian Olympic Committee secured the live streaming rights to the European Youth Olympic Games in Maribor. All decisions can therefore only be seen live and free of charge on Olympic Team Austria TV (www.olympicteamaustria.tv).
