Leondinger judo club shines again: Young associations of 2024!

Leonding, Österreich - In Leonding, the ASKÖ FairDrive Leonding was recently awarded the prestigious Judo Austria Award 2024 as the young club of the year. The association received this honor for the second time, after the first win in 2022, and underlines the excellent performance of their young judo female. The couple Andrea and Martin Stump, the chairwoman and the representative of the association, took the trophy towards the final 4 of the Judo Bundesliga, together with their young coaches and the emerging talents. "We are incredibly proud of our Leofighers and what they have achieved this year," said Andrea Stump, like

The ASKÖ Fairdrive Leonding was founded in 1977 and has been an independent judo club since 2019. The intensive work with the young athletes paid off this year: The Leofighers crowned themselves as U16 mixed team champions and won a total of 18 medals at the ASKÖ federal championships, including nine gold medals. The successes of Magdalena Mayrhofer, who won the Austrian U-23 championship title in the weight class up to 63 kg, as well as the U-16 championship titles by Marie Spielbüchler (-52 kg) and Selina Wögerer (-70 kg) should also be emphasized. All of these successes show that the club's youth work is excellent, which is confirmed by askoee-leonding.info

"The award is a nice recognition for the intensive work that we have done in recent years. In 2025, this key should continue," say the two coaches Stump confidently. The ASKÖ FairDrive Leonding has thus established itself as a leading force in the Austrian judo sport and shows how promising the future is for the next generations of judokas.
