Serbia was stronger than Taekwondo athletes in Romania

Taekwondo athletes were represented by Emilia Lahti and Eddie Quinones at the cadet EC competitions in Bucharest.

Emilia competed in the category under 51 kilograms and was met by Serdja Stevic from Serbia, who trains together with Tijana Bogdanovic (Olympics 1 in Rio). The Serb was far too tough a match for Emmi, who was recovering from the flu. The beginning promised well, but when the breath didn't flow, the match didn't flow either. The final result 20-2 speaks volumes. Stevic took the series to the end in showmanship.

Eddie competed in the boys' under 61-kilogram category. Serbian Stefan Takov was also up against him, whom Eddie led on two occasions. A small slip at the end and a chase in the last seconds cost the match victory. Result 8-13.
