We had matches between our Kyu women on 5th August, the last day of the second internal shiai. The matches started with four pools of candidates, followed by a tournament within the top two players of each pool.
8月5号我们来到了这次内部赛的最后一天，Kyu级别的女生们在今天完成了比赛。这次比赛把选手们分成了四个小组，每组前两名进入淘汰赛，从八强打到了决赛。
It seemed that the girls had waited too long for this day since the first day of this internal shiai two weeks ago, as they fought on the courts actively trying to score. This day they fought for themselves, and also for future competitions to fight for the club. The performance in shiai was closely linked to basic and keiko, and that’s why daily training is crucial. Let’s keep training hard and prepare always for the next competition.
这次的选手们好像从两周前内部赛一开始就一直期待着她们的比赛日的到来，因为赛场上她们打得特别卖力，拼命地出手为了得到属于自己的一分。对于今天而言她们既是为了自己而战，也是为了在未来的公开赛中能为了社团而战。一个人在比赛中的表现和平时的基础训练和实战训练都紧密相关，于是日常的训练就很重要。那么让我们为了未来的比赛继续刻苦训练吧。
At the last of the whole series of matches, we definitely need to say thanks to our Sensei and volunteers for their dedicate working throughout the whole event to ensure each match to proceed successfully. Thanks for their great effort!
在这一系列的比赛的最后，回顾所有比赛，我们一定要感谢我们的教练们和志愿者们在整个四天的比赛中的辛苦专注的工作，有了他们的付出才有了这次活动的成功举办。谢谢他们巨大的付出！
