  • 5 years ago
South Koreans won a clean sweep of trophies at the annual World Youth Baduk or Go Championship that was recently held in Malaysia.
Korea's Yang Yu-jun won the senior tournament, defeating a Chinese opponent in the final, and Jung Jun-woo won the junior tournament for under-12s.
It's the fourth time Team Korea has won both tournaments at the second-longest running amateur Baduk tournament in the world.
The championship has seen a number of strong participants eventually rise through the ranks to become World Champions... including South Korea's Lee Se-dol.
