Quite a medal haul from the Vantaa Championship

Success was hunted with a large and efficient team

Taekwondo was again involved in the SC week and this time the championships were sought on the match side in the under-21-year-old series and in the senior series. In business series, medals were won in all official series. Taekwondo athletes were represented by a large and well-prepared team for both forms of competition, and the success was as expected.

No less than 6 championships from the match

In the match, the number of the brightest medals was reduced by the fact that in all sets of two representatives, the lottery happened so that the teammates were facing each other in the first round. The opening match of the day was played Severin and Eddie's sometimes in the men's -73kg series and Eddie's even more accurate scoring brought him a second place this time. As expected, Eddie went all the way and won the Finnish championship in a televised match. Severi showed his claws one series higher by defeating first Bardian in a tight opening match and then winning the final by a wide margin.

In the men's -63kg series Plum and Lauri also met each other right at the opening. Today, Plum did better, finding her way to the finals, where she settled for silver at the end of a good fight. Luca won the direct final in the men's -45kg series after a long competition break. There was no break in the firecracker's legs and Luca started to challenge without prejudice and with a tough attitude. The speed was still not enough for gold, but the storm warning was received.

On the women's side, the series were quite small and Alina and Chahrazed were directly declared champions in their only leagues. Chaimaa tapped out a stylish win in his own straight final.

The senior series also saw the final between the clubs, when Checkmate and Lasse fought for the -58 kg championship. Mati had an effective start to the match, while Lasse woke up a little too late to get into the rhythm. The championship therefore goes to Mati.

The business series team won medals with hard points.

Effective preparation also paid off in terms of movement, and the prolonged season is not reflected in the performances in any way, on the contrary. The athletes seemed to be in quite a draw.

In the cadet series, Taekwondo athletes had the largest number of representatives. In the girls' series, a power trio Sophia, Bella and Vickan decided the championships with each other. The championship went to Bella and silver to Vickan, one hundredth ahead of Sofia. As usual, the same trio also won gold in their group series. On the side of the cadet boys For Alex championship by a clear margin and bronze in pairs together with Vickan.

In junior boys Eero styled to the championship as well as in the doubles series together with Mudo's Elvi Ollila. Eero also participated in the freestyle series for the first time. This time, the smooth and flying performance won the silver. Respectively Alina's the long-honed freestyle performance was wonderful to watch. This is a really good way to start honing your freestyle skills even further.

In adults Laura and Ville managed to grab silver in their own individual series in addition to the training. Ville also won gold in the individual series and Laura won silver of pairs. Titus sadly fell one hundredth short of the bronze in the women's U30 series, but instead won gold in the group series.

Big congratulations to all the medalists and have a relaxing summer! :)

Thanks to the coaches Sampo, Teemu, Pauli, Laura and Ville and, of course, to the tireless support and encouragement teams!
