Para-taekwondo World Championships in Aruba

 

Resting between matches.

The Para-taekwondo World Championships got off to a great start when the only Finnish representative, Matti Sairanen, defeated Brazilian Jadson Santos Silva 6-4 in the semi-finals. Matti competes in the men's 68 kg category, disability class A6.

In the final, he faced Azeri Nijat Muslimov. The match was extremely tight, but at the end the score was 1-2 in favor of Azeri.

”Hieno taistelu Matilta, vaikka jalat olivat huonossa kunnossa ensimmäisessä ottelussa tulleista osumista. Azeri oli todella kova, mutta taktiikka piti melkein loppuun asti. Kultamitaliin ei jäänyt enää paljoa matkaa”, toteaa joukkueen valmentaja Sampo Pajulampi. ”Parannus viimevuoden Moskovan EM-kisoihin oli selkeä”, toteaa puolestaan joukkueenjohtajana toiminut Matin isä Tapani Sairanen.
