Severi faced Serbia's Dusan Bozanic in the junior series. The Serb has cadet EC gold and several tournament victories. Although Severi got a better grip on the Serb towards the end, a good move at the beginning took the Serb to victory.

Eddie Quinones finished fifth in 8.10. in the cadet European championships held in Budapest.
In the first round, Bosnia-Herzegovina's Eldar Abdulovic fell 20-0 before full time. In the second round, Eddie defeated the Russian Stanislav Babeshko 19-7. However, in the semifinals, France's Elias Ibisi was better 13-25. The match was still in Eddie's possession after the second set, but then a couple of mistakes gave the lead to the Frenchman. The risk-taking of the end didn't pay off this time, but still a good match from Eddie.
Overall, the level of the games was tough.
The league series was attended by Jenny Vettenniemi and Iines Korhonen in cadets and Emilia Lahti in juniors. Jenny and Iines participated in two weight classes. In one, Jenny won and Iines took silver, and in the other, Jenny won silver and Iines took bronze. Emilia won one match, but injured her ankle in the semi-finals. There is no serious injury to the ankle, but there will be at least a week of rest.
In the children's series, Lauri and Lassi and Venne competed in two series. Everyone won one set and Venne was left with silver in his second set after kicking his opponent in the head against the rules in a 9-0 lead. Everyone dominated their series and the transition to the most demanding series is ahead during the autumn competition season.
Sampo Pajulampi coached and Ali Lahti refereed. Ali's refereeing was praised, the accumulation of experience can be seen in solid action on the field. The well-being of the contestants was taken care of by a large group of parents, whose contribution was again invaluable.
In Latvia, our club was represented by Tuikku Holopainen and Plum Kopisto in cadets, Severi Sarala in juniors and Jenna Partanen in adults.
Tuikku, Plum and Severi already fell in the first round, but Plum and Tuikku still got the bronze medals. Jenna won her opening opponent, but in the quarterfinals Russia's Katja Derbaneva was stronger.
Teemu coached and Katri Sarala and Sami Kopisto worked in the maintenance teams. Read the detailed race report here

Christian dropped quite a bomb by grabbing gold in the extremely tough U30 series of the Austrian G1 Championships on 17 June 2017.
Christian left behind a whole line of business series giants of the moment. There were e.g. the reigning European champion Joachim Wien and Joel van der Weiden fell in the final, who is the European champion of sleds from the last European Championships. Christian also knocked out this year's European doubles champion Benjamin Hellegaard Harden.
Aino excelled in the children's series, taking silver in her individual series and gold in pairs and groups, where Aino complemented the team of her Austrian training friends.
Warm congratulations to both of them for their amazing performances!
