Jesus Ramal and Suvi Mikkonen will organize an international camp in Madrid on December 26-30, 2013. At least 2 athletes from our club will go to the camp. You go too. More information from Sampo.

Here is Suvi's message to Finnish taekwondo players:

”Finns! 26-30 December there will be 2 winter camps in Madrid! Last year the camp was great and this year we have already many teams signed up e.g. Mexico, Portugal, Scotland, Germany... And many more interested. It is possible to get a home stay with a family from our club but not enough for everyone so if you are interested please contact us and book your place!!! Also of course you can stay in a hotel. The camp prices are not known yet but it is not expensive. Last year there were 3 Finns, hopefully this year there will be more! There will be 2 training sessions in 2 groups: kids and cadets will be 1 group and junior and senior will be the other group. And a race on the last day. Are you going to miss it?”

Teemu Heino, men +87 kg

Teemu Heino – Oleg Kuznetsov (RUS) 2-5

The match was decided by the Russian's main hit point, from which the Finns picked up the Video Replay card in vain, the video referee saw the hit. After the match, Kuznetsov came to tell Teemu that he didn't think he hit, and therefore didn't earn any points either.

Kuznetsov is the reigning winner of the Spanish Open.
