Successful championships

Taekwondo athletes match by match
Milla Väyrynen, SM – Cadets -37 Kg

In the first match, Milla fought Lotta Parta, who won the series. Lotta led the match until the last seconds, when Milla tied the match. In Sudden Death, Lotta would miss the head, but the judges gave the points. In the final, Partanen won 12-0 before full time. Bronze for Milla.

Kasper Wargelin, SM – Cadets -37 Kg

Kasper faced Santeri Helte, who knew how to reset Kassu's match well. Kassu couldn't make use of his best qualities and thus the defeat was a fact. Bronze for Kassu

Aaha Moullaev, SM – Cadets -53 Kg

Aaha was overweight for his series, but he competed above the series. Niko Saarinen was clearly better 21-4. Aaha gets bronze in the first cadet match.

Aleksi Väyrynen, SM – Cadets -41 Kg and SM – Youth -45 Kg

Aleksi had the same opponent in both series, Naantali's internationally experienced Keijo Soinio. In the first match, a good rhythm was already found, but the initial hesitation brought defeat. In the second match, the rhythm disappeared again and both sets won bronze.

Voker Feka, SM – Youth -63 Kg

Still a cadet, Voker debuted in the juniors, where the experienced Pessi Närhi was better. However, silver for Voker.

Tanja Lovikka, SM – Adults -49 Kg

Tanja couldn't find an opponent, so she took home the gold at the weigh-in.

Pauli Raivio, SM – Adults -68 Kg

Pauli I pressed the longest day of the whole team, when the final was the third match of the day. Henri Jutila fell in the first and Aleksi Nurisalo in the second. The final was exciting in advance, when Loviisa's Sami lahtinen faced off. Sami is a familiar opponent and training partner. The game was again decided by a questionable header, but one of the only international-level finals of the day was still a brilliant performance.

Petteri Kauppinen and Juho Kostianen SM – Adults -80 Kg

Gold for Juho and silver for Petter. In the first match, Petteri made a show of Wahid Ahmad. The second match also seemed to go great and Petteri pushed Juho hard.

Teemu Heino, SM – Adults +87 Kg

Teemu is still the number one big man in Finland. The match was relaxed and several physical difficulties did not prevent the final to be an overwhelming points victory. Teemu's 15th championship and a great display of the liberated match brought by the routine.

Megii Moullaev, D1 juniors -40 Kg

Megii played well at her level. The result is silver, which will surely brighten up in the near future.

The guardians are Sampo Pajulampi, Juho Ranta, Teemu Heino, Petteri Kauppinen, Juho Kostiainen and Pauli Raivio.

Summer and Jesus

1003873_10153134504120093_239740840_nJesus Ramal and Suvi Mikkonen will organize an international camp in Madrid on December 26-30, 2013. At least 2 athletes from our club will go to the camp. You go too. More information from Sampo.

Here is Suvi's message to Finnish taekwondo players:

”Finns! 26-30 December there will be 2 winter camps in Madrid! Last year the camp was great and this year we have already many teams signed up e.g. Mexico, Portugal, Scotland, Germany... And many more interested. It is possible to get a home stay with a family from our club but not enough for everyone so if you are interested please contact us and book your place!!! Also of course you can stay in a hotel. The camp prices are not known yet but it is not expensive. Last year there were 3 Finns, hopefully this year there will be more! There will be 2 training sessions in 2 groups: kids and cadets will be 1 group and junior and senior will be the other group. And a race on the last day. Are you going to miss it?”
