The finals of the European Combat were held in the mythic Cirque d’hiver in Paris in September. Morgan faced a determined and more experienced opponent in the F-70kg final, and came away with the title of vice-champion of Europe.<\/p>\n

More recently, she\u00a0competed in the 2018 Savate Assaut World Championships. A record number of athletes, from forty-four countries participated in the championships, which were held in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.<\/p>\n
In Savate Assaut, the objective is to make contact with ones opponent, using a variety of kicks and punches, ideally without the opponent scoring against you.\u00a0Assaut bouts are judged on demonstrating superior technical skills and ability, including scoring points by making contact.<\/p>\n
Morgan took two wins in the pools phase, and qualified for the semi-finals.\u00a0In the semis, she met\u00a0the very good French Champion, Ilhame RAGUIG (France). Despite a fantastic effort, Morgan missed out, so as in the 2016 World Savate Assaut Championships, she\u00a0once again had to settle for a Bronze Medal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two other Great Britain athletes took bronze medals this year : James Antill (Guildford) in the M-75kg category, and James Southwood (London) in the M-80kg category.<\/p>\n
