The first ever FISTF event was held in Argentina on the 10th of December. This is the first tournament held in south america for over a year now, prior to this there were various events held in Colombia under the guidance of Italian, Andrea Lampis.
The International Open of Buenos Aires was won by Philippe Hipfinger of Belgium who took on local lad, Luis Fernando Rossi in the final. The semi-finalists were Gregorio Caro Solis and Fernando Soneira. Apart from Hipfinger, there were 8 local lads participating in the event, as well as Chris Wander, an englishman living in Buenos Aires.
Hopefully this will be the first of many events held in Argentina and South America, this tournament will prove as a spearhead for the Sport in South America.
