Having passed the test, Bachler is now one of the youngest black belt holders. The 16-year-old made it into the national squad.
Michael Winkler is promoted to Judo Austria. The sports scientist has previously worked as an athletic trainer and youth coordinator. Now the 29-year-old will be the junior national coach.
