OAR GEORG RUßBACHER

Dear ladies and gentlemen

Dear friends of Karate

From 17th to 18th of October 2015 the “Karate1 Premier League“ will be held in the city of

Salzburg. Once again there will be many athletes from all over the world participating in this great

tournament.

Such major events can only be made possible with the help of all the volunteers of the Salzburg

Karate Association. Therefore my special thanks go to all these volunteers for their active support.

I also want to thank the city of Salzburg and its mayor Dr. Heinz Schaden, the

Landessportorganisation Salzburg, our sponsors and the World Karate Federation (WKF), with

its president Antonio Espinos, which has once again honored us with the organisation of this

event.

Finally, I wish all the competitors a pleasant stay in Salzburg as well as an exciting, successful

and most of all injury-free competition.
