Colin competed at the Eurocup 2025 in Austria on 11 October.
He entered two Kumite categories – under 45kg and the open weight class. Fighting for the first time with full protective gear and helmet, he adapted quickly. In the under 45kg category, Colin lost his opening bout 0–2. He bounced back strongly in the open weight class, winning two matches 2–0 before losing 0–2 in the quarter-final, finishing 5th overall.
Although Colin didn’t medal this time, it was a valuable experience and another step forward on his karate journey.
