On Sunday, November 30, the XXXIII Pepe Pérez Karate Trophy was held at the Miguel Ángel Díaz Molina Pavilion in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife. A championship organized by the Canary Islands Karate Federation that featured around 600 competitors from across the archipelago in this edition.
The Karate Poliarrecife club participated with two karatekas, **Caleb Padrón and Amelie Skiba**For his part, Caleb Padrón, in the Male Youth Kumite -48 kg category, although he did a great job, **could not reach the medal rounds** after falling in the preliminaries, with his fight ending 0-0 and the referee's decision going to his opponent.
Amelie Skiba had a magnificent competition, winning all her fights in the Kumite Junior Female Open category, which earned her the top spot on the podium and her gold medal. This result is even more valuable considering it was an Open category, featuring the best Junior competitors from the Canary Islands across all weight classes.
