Grand Champion at the 2010 Malaysia Koi Show
Posted 14 Jun 2010 - 02:44 by Mark Gardner
Well it's been a great weekend in Malaysia, now 1.30am on Monday and the first time I've been on the Internet since leaving Ojiya.
Just a quick pic of the Grand Champion, Kohaku owned by Jemmy Tan from Singapore. Interestingly this was one of my tips for GC last year - http://www.niigata-nishikigoi.com/node/443. Last year the ZNA judges marked it down for a very small area of damaged scales on the side of the Koi. This year the show was judged by a combination of ZNA and Shinkokai judges. Interestingly in a conversation that I overheard Hisashi Hirasawa queried the damage, the ZNA judge dismissed it as irrelevant.
Anyway, in the first round of voting the Kohaku took the title with, I think, 8 votes out of 12.
More pics and video to come from the show over the next few days.
Now in Penang and tomorrow will head off to visit Yamakoshi Mura - http://www.yamakoshi.biz - who have sponsored my visit here and were main sponsors of the 2010 Malaysia Koi Show.
