Taekwondo athletes' strong competitive spirit continued at the Ambassador's Cup in Vantaa

Award for the best match club of the Games for Taekwondo athletes

In the Vantaa Ambassador's Cup, the 2019 league championships were decided for both competition formats. The 20-person match team of taekwondo athletes made a strong result and at the end of the day, they were able to proudly pick up the award for the best match club of the competitions. As usual, the day was full of events and emotions.

Lauri and Plum met again in the mutual final in a thrilling drama all the way to the overtime. Lauri's accurate armor hitting brought victory to Lauri in this round. Chaimaa won gold in his own pool series with two wins. Sarah the main kicks were again more accurate and thus a clear final victory for Sara. Jenny fought in two series so that all the matches happened in sets or only a few matches apart. Two wins and two losses out of four matches, but the biggest victory can be considered Jenny's ability to gather her will to fight at the end of a lost match and turn the next match into a win against the same opponent. Honey debuted in the league series, taking silver nicely. For Alina also silver. Severin and Bardian was satisfied with bronze in this round in the men's 74kg series. Sever's long competition break was not visible in doing much and the semi-final victory was definitely not far away. Ines took a tight direct final, but a disappointing narrow loss.

In children's series Noel, Luca and Max worked hard each in two series and as a result 2 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze. Noor won an exciting and eventful final in D1 girls. Noor led the match the entire time and managed to keep his lead despite the persistent efforts of his opponent. Mark took a clear opening victory, but had to bow in the final against a taller opponent. Still, I pocket some silver at the end of a good day. For Salma, Renad, Vlera, Teemu and For Milay opening losses, but at the end of well-taken matches. No one was left at the feet of their opponent, and with additional training, these will be turned into victories.

Bardia, Plum and Chahra.

Judgments were shared Ali, Vlad and Alex, the latter of which deservedly won the best judge award!

During the match training sessions, there was a lot of noise Sampo, Juho, Pauli, Mari and Fatima. 

There were much more highlights, tight situations and big emotions in the day than what is mentioned here, and the report will never do justice to the authentic feeling of the race day. The next time you'll be able to experience this feeling is in Eura in the form of the WC in about a month. Based on the games in Vantaa, we are allowed to expect hard performances.

Great performances in the movement series

The mood of the business series competitors was on point. Alex again dominated the cadet boys' series and also won gold Marita from the women's diesel series. In freestyle, all competitors have progressed considerably during the fall and the performances were strong. For Alina gold and For Eero silver, but most importantly, both scores are on the rise since the summer WC. Reed competed for the first time in business series competitions, participating in amateur freestyle and the children's blue and black series. Good and solid performances from Kaisla, even though, for example, she has only had time to practice freestyle for a short time. Cherry berry was also in her first races, finishing fifth in the women's diesel series. For Ville as usual, gold from the group series and silver from the individual. For Vickan bronze for female cadets.

They act as coaches on the poomsae side Laura and Ville.
