My sincerest apologies for not spelling Sofie’s name correctly.
Sofie Macak.
Hi Daniel,
Sophie Macak was the first woman to represent Australia at the World Kendo Championships. She carried the flag for Australia at the 1991 Toronto WKC. She will never be forgotten as our pioneer of women’s kendo in Australia ❤️
Hi Andy
Great conversation!!
My ex-girlfriend RIP was a pioneer of women’s kendo in Australia…her name was Sofie Macak and her memory will live in my heart. My time practicing kendo will always be a precious memory in my life. Long live those who have been before.
Kind regards Daniel
