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.
