Sporty weekend

ORANJESTAD — When in Aruba on
vacation you most probably are not
looking into too much workout activity
but prefer relaxing on the beach and
enjoying the great food and sunny
cocktails. However what about being
entertained by the best athletes and
at the same time experiencing some-
thing local and get connected to the
island in another way? You can! This
weekend you may choose between
the Aruba International Karate Cup
and Aruba’s International Beach Ten-
nis Event.

The Aruba International Karate Cup
is being organized with attention in
the details, in order to become in the
coming years a mandatory stop for
athletes who want to qualify for the
Olympic Games, as well as an impor-
tant event for those who are in full de-
velopment in Latin America and the
Caribbean.The organizing committee
since 2018 is working to guarantee the
highest standards of technical quality
and logistics. Step by today, Saturday

tion Center, Oranjestad where there

neously. The competition will be dis-
puted according to the Regulations
