City teen Hazel John (10) bagged a gold and a bronze at Karate Budokan Federation of India organized by KBI Asia Karate Championship at Hyderabad recently. It was her maiden international invitational.

Hazel, a class V student of Smt Sulochanadevi Singhania School, claimed gold in kumite (one-to-one sparring) in the 9-10 years’ girls category and went on to add yet another medal to her kitty with a bronze in kata (solo demonstration of attacks, blocks and steps).

“She has won medals at various competitions in the recent past as a prolific fighter and perfectionist. And this latest achievement has been a big bonanza for the New Year,” said her father Roy John Mathew. According to her mother Daly John, “We owe all credit to her school and the guidance of her coach, Sandeep Surve, who spotted the talent in her.”
