Wellknown argentinian fighter Marcos Villani, who partcipated in tournament, gave HMBIA News a short interview and told us about his impressions after the tournament.
 

Marcos Villani:
“For me it was an honour they let me be part of this team. There was a beautful tournament fulled with friends. The fighters of every team fought so clean and with honor. The Mexican Associaton of Medieval Combat gave us everything we needed and so we had a good time”.

As we already mentioned, orgteam of the tournament tried to give all the opportunites for audience to feel the Medieval atmosphere – as the entrance was free for everybody, visitors could find there the Medieval fair and different family actvites like games, workshops, saw authentic medieval costumes, made great photos with fighters in armor, tried this armor by themselves, tasted food of vendors and craf beer brewers.

As we can see, Oscar de la Parra and his team did a good job and they got great results – this tournament will stay in memory of sportsmen and audience for a long long time. HMBIA News wish them success in their work for many years and can`t wait to see the Natonal team of Mexico at the lists of HMB World Championship “Battle of the Nations”-2018 in Italy.
