Sophia Vassilaki took gold in cadets and Eddie Quinones in novice children. Sara Quinones took silver in the novice children.

A good display for the World Cup

For Sophia, the tournament victory was an important stage on the way to the Junior World Championships. Additional displays may still be needed, but two international tournament wins in consecutive weeks indicate a strong level of performance.

Losses for the other team in the first matches

Pauli Raivio, Tanja Raivio, Voker Feka and Aleksi Väyrynen suffered opening losses. Everyone had difficulties with the feeling of the match and the flower could not reach its own basic level. The preparation was perhaps too thin and the feeling of the match was a bit lacking due to the 3-month competition break.
