Federation of Sporting and Traditional Wushu of Estonia asked Mrs. Eleonora to act as the chief referee of the tournament.
Mrs. Eleonora provided all kinds of support to make this event successful. She organized the seminar for judges to prepare the Estonian jury, planned and implemented the Opening Ceremony and show program and supplied consultants for the tournament software and artwork design. She was also supervising the judgement process and other tournament work.
All efforts leaded to the successful event. The athletes from Estonia, Russia and Latvia participated in this competition which turned well-organized and competent. The spectators enjoyed not only high level performances, but the exciting 40 minutes show program. The organizers from Estonia got the valuable experience of organizing the big tournaments. And Mrs. Eleonora Volokontseva and Wushu Association of Nordic Countries proved one more time their support to Wushu and their intention to help to its development in all countries of the World.
