Sutton Coldfield based Karate Superstar Chloe Barnes of Fairfax School is officially the worlds best! Having this year won back to back National Open, Welsh Open, Malta Open and Mediteranean titles Chloe took on the best the karate world has to offer at the Karate World Championships in Dundee.
It was one of the toughest world championships in history with over 2300 competitors from 41 countries, after a long competition and several tough rounds Chloe had to compete in a deciding contest for the gold medal. Chloe held her nerve and kicked and punched her way to become world champion in spectacular style in front of a vocal and packed arena.
Chloe also went on to become a double world medalist by winning a silver with her two Great Britain AKA teammates in the team kata competition.
Chloe puts her rise to the top down to fantastic coaching received at Streetly Shukokai Karate Club in Sutton Coldfield Birmingham, she is extremely grateful to Fairfax School for allowing her the time off and would also like to thank her family and sponsors Lookers Vauxhall for having the confidence in her to support her dreams.
