The racing season has started in Estonia.

The competition season opened on 11.7. in Kunda, Estonia. The outdoor competition had to be moved indoors due to weather conditions, but the competition was successfully completed. There were first timers as well as more experienced conkers.

The best performances of the day were seen from Noel Viitaniemi in the children's under 27 kg category, for which he brought home a gold medal. In addition, gold came from the business series competition.

Luca Lonka (children -33 kg) jumped nicely despite the tough opposition. Silver from both the match and the business series.

Tuure Silver (children 2, -36 kg) took part in his first competition and had an even, great match against a more experienced guy. In the match, attention is especially drawn to good distances and creative solutions in situations. This is good to continue.

Egor Osadchiy (children 2, +40) brought home the bronze after a hard fight.

Markus Liuko (cadets -37 kg) finished second in his only match. The match was good though. In addition, Markus did a creditable job helping the smaller ones warm up.

Venne Viitaniemi (cadets -45 kg) also suffered a defeat despite an even fight.

Plum Kopisto (junior -68 kg) and Juuli Mankonen (junior -44 kg) both had good matches, but both suffered defeat.

Overall, the opening of the competition season was quite modest in terms of results. Almost half a year's break from proper couples training was visible in everyone's expressions. On the other hand, the basic level is still strong and with a little polishing, the result column will look completely different.

Thanks to the whole team and especially to the parents, who took care of the travel arrangements creditably. Mari Lapinsalo coached creditably.
