The business league team's spring season ended wonderfully in Korso
Korso's business series competition packages the spring competitions of the business series league. The team of taekwondo athletes has reaped success in one competition after another, and the trend continued even now. I promise you good luck with the SC championships in mind! Coach Heikki reports on the competitions:
"Korso's business series competitions went like a model from TU! The ten-member strike team brought a total of seven medals from the Games. In the cadet girls, Sofia Sarala won the silver medal and Sara Quinones the bronze. It is worth mentioning that there were three contestants from TU among the five finalists: Sofia, Sara and Aino Kortelainen. In the cadet boys, Alex Jürgens also claimed the silver medal with good performances.
In junior girls, Tara Tuokko, who recently moved to the ranks of TU, achieved a silver medal in her series, even though a small leg problem hindered her kicking a little.
Aino Kortelainen was replaced to "luck" Mia Knutsson to the U17 group and as a result Sara, Aino and Pori's Helmi Riuttala won a gold medal. TU's trio Bella Buuri, Victoria Hentunen and Sofia Sarala also claimed a silver medal in the same series. Also among the medalists of the U30 group, TU colors were found, when Elina Tikkanen (TU11), Linda Räkköläinen (HIPKO) and Nea Säynäjoki (Tampere Keumgang) won gold with excellent performances.
In the amateur series, Marita Jaakkola (Women in red and black) and Maija Mansikkala (Women in blue) did solid performances, but narrowly missed out on medals."
