Steinheimer Nicola Wulf: The ninja fighter of the hour!

Loud Krzbb She dominated her group and safely qualified for the semi-finals. Wulf came 11th out of 40 participants and faced a wide variety of obstacles with great approval from the moderators, who described her as a “natural born ninja fighter”.
