Career

Stanislav Horuna became first Ukrainian karate athlete that won a medal in World Championship among adults (bronze, Bremen, 2014). However, ambiguous judging during the fight of Stanislav with Japanese Тані Руічі Tani Ryuichi for reaching the final of Championship caused a discussion, at first the winner of duel was named Stanislav Horuna. But a judicial assembly recalls athletes on tatami and declares the winner of fight and finalist of Championship Japanese athlete. Within the framework of 22-th World Championship in karate this duel is considered most controversial (and, not only on tatami, but also in the political aspect)[4]

Stanislav heads the rating of series of competitions K1 Premier League and declares the winner (Grand Winner) of Premiere-league three times in 2013, 2014 and 2017. The serious injury of knee in 2015 forced one of world leaders in karate to stop training and, accordingly, participating in competitions. In 2017 on K1 Premier League Paris Open 2017 (this premiere league became the most massive in history of competitions (1243 athletes from 78 countries of the world)) Stanislav triumphally returns on the first step of pedestal in France. Conducting 7 fights, Horuna brings the gold medal to Ukraine in the most numerous (140 participants from 42 countries) category.[5]

gollark: Are you suggesting that having to hunt/gather food isn't "work" for animals?
gollark: For example, a train station I'm aware of has a ticket office with 4 people at desks and basically no activity, even though they mostly just act as bad frontends for the automatic ticket system, for which there are also (not very good) automatic ticket machines.
gollark: There are some things which I think probably should be automated but aren't, though, and I think that's mostly just because some people want there to be humans around for whatever reason and pressure to "preserve jobs".
gollark: Oops, I said knowledge work twice.
gollark: In some cases it's probably possible but it would have drawbacks or isn't cost-effective yet.
