The medals came in the 2018 World Championship, European Championship, Mediterranean Games, World Cup, European Cup, Islamic Games, and European Grand Prix tournaments.

The 19-year-old Mete Gazoz was the standout performer of the year with six gold, four silver, and two bronze medals in men's international competitions.
