Gold medalist Nyska Jagasur has consistently excelled in martial arts, earning regional, provincial and national representation multiple times.
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (23 August 2024) – Nyska Jagasur, a rising star in the world of karate, has once again made South Africa proud.
The young prodigy from Maris Stella School recently dominated the UFAK Region South (Zone 6) Karate Championships, securing a gold medal in Kumite and a silver in Kata.
The karate kid’s impressive performance against athletes from neighbouring countries has solidified her reputation as one of the most promising karatekas in the nation.
According to the school, Nyska boasts impressive achievements in Japanese martial arts, having represented the province and re-awarded full colours earlier this year.
Not only has Nyska excelled at the regional level, but she has also represented South Africa at the national championships, earning medals and gaining recognition for her exceptional skills.
She has competed in the KZN Karate Provincial Champs and was selected to represent KZN at both the Senior and Junior National Championships.
Previously, Nyska was also selected by Karate South Africa to represent the country as a Protea Athlete at the Region South (Zone 6) Championships in Namibia where she did not disappoint and won a gold medal!
So, what lies next for this trailblazer? Nyska will represent our country at the UFAK All Africa Continental Championships which will take place in Tunisia in September this year.
As she continues to climb the ranks of the sport, it is clear that Nyska is a force to be reckoned with in the world of karate.
