After my mediocre results from the olympics I finally achieved enough points to be considered World Master.

so I am no longer just the son of a WBF's World Master, I am a World Master myself :).

It really took me by surprise, because all the spannish wolrd masters were first european masters for a while before becoming WM. But nevertheless, I am kinda happy :).

Well done indeed!

Wow. Huge congratulations are in order! Well done.
