Warling Wins Bronze at the Student World Championships

Karate-Jenny, as she is respectfully known around the university, was defeated in the first round by Haname Katayama of Japan, who went on to become the Student World Champion. As Katayama reached the final, Jenny Warling won a place in the consolation round where she qualified for the so-called minor final by beating the Swiss vice European juniors champion. Karate-Jenny then battled for bronze with the Italian Eleonora Lanzone. At first, the Italian seemed to have the upper hand, but Warling soon landed hit after hit and returned with the bronze medal for a photo at the H-BRS campus.

Even though Warling will be leaving us after the graduation ceremony in late October, she will still have the right to represent Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg (H-BRS) at student championships for another year. She's also a promising candidate for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
