Essi Labart was selected for the national team of business series to represent Finland at the World Championships. In addition, Essi was chosen to represent Finland at the European University Games.
Three European Taekwondo Federation A-class competitions serve as the selection competitions for the team: Belgium Open in May, and Dutch Open and Austrian Open in June. Essi and Christian were the best in their series.
"Essi and Christian have been training systematically, high quality and a lot. The training has really paid off." says Heikki Liukkonen, head coach of the business league national team.
Most of the athletes selected for the World Championship team can be seen training in TU's gym every week.
