Zack Sarsoza at the European Championships in Poland

A 19-year-old student from Fulham has competed for Team GB in the Taekwondo European Championships.
It is the second time that Zack Sarsoza has represented his country in international competition.
Unfortunately, Zach returned from the event in Poland without a medal, but he remains ranked in the top 10 in Europe in the -54kg category, is now focusing on the Turkish Open in July followed by the University European Combat Games where he will represent the University of Salford.
“It is always a great honour to represent your country. I am just disappointed I couldn’t go further in the competition,” said Zack.
“We will regroup and get ready for the next tournament over in Turkey.”
Zack fights out of the Kixstar Dragon club in Haldane Road which is run by his father Saimoore, a fourth Dan black belt coach.
The club has more than 100 students of all levels and the first class is free for newcomers.
The former Fulham Boys School pupil made his senior GB debut at last year's World Championship in Guadalajara, Mexico where he missed out on a quarter-final spot after a narrow loss to Slovenia's Domen Molj in the men's -54kg competition.
