Teemu represents Finland and TU11

Taekwondo athletes 2011 are strongly represented at the World Championships. Finland's second representative is Teemu Heino in the men's +87 kg category. Another representative is Budokwa's Suvi Mikkonen.

Teemu has a tough race ahead of him, especially since the recovery from the surgery after the injury dragged out the decision to participate until the end. However, the finishing has gone reasonably well and the match style has also found new elements. At least success is not dependent on experience, as Teemu is the competitor with the longest career in value competitions in one tournament with Lopez from the USA.

Juho Ranta takes care of the athletes' well-being

The technical team includes Juho Ranta, who in his capacity as a physiotherapist treats both athletes to peak condition before the competition. Since the Finnish team is small, there are many tasks and the title of physiotherapist is quite broad.

Teemu will fight on Friday 19.7.

Every Taekwondo athlete naturally has their thumbs and big toes up when Teemu grapples. You can probably also follow the matches online, although the time difference presents its own challenges.

CONGRATULATIONS TO TEEMUS ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE CLUB!
