King's Lynn hosted the Euros for Sam's martial art again this year. The Lynn club had won the tournament in the previous two years, and a third straight victory would mean that the team kept the lavishly hand-embroidered, and extremely expensive championship flag forever. Which would seriously annoy the American boss of the franchise, aka Grandmaster Flash.
Above is Sam waiting to enter the arena for his turn to compete.
An unscheduled change to the age groups meant Sam was warming up in a group he hadn't expected to be in. Ho hum. 
Here he is starting his "forms". 
And finishing them.
Before turning away for the judges marks.
Sam didn't win a medal this time, but King's Lynn did win the title. And Grandmaster Flash has cut his Thai food budget by 50% to pay for a new flag.

Kudos to Sam for all his efforts! He may not have won a medal this go around, but there's always next year perhaps. Here's hoping that he keeps it up!!!
