Teemu Heino, the chairman of taekwondo athletes and a member of the athletes' committee of the Finnish Olympic Committee, received an invitation to meet Bulgarian ambassador and MEP and taekwondo influencer, Slavi Binev. The host of the dinner was the Bulgarian ambassador, Lubomir T. Todorov, who wanted to be active in the development of cooperation between Finnish and Bulgarian taekwondo.

Taekwondo attracted interest at the open day

Taekwondo TU11 Taekwondo athletes 2012
Petteri Kauppinen pulled one of the demo workouts.

The open day for taekwondo athletes was a success. There were a lot of people, especially children. Taekwondo interested me more than before, as expected. The club is increasingly well-known in the region, and the increased visibility of the sport with the Olympics didn't hurt at all. There were enough enthusiastic people for all the training sessions, and there was also enough activity between the training sessions.

Free training months were won by the following lucky people:

Mårten Jakobbsen

Niilo Pajoja

Tiina Räsänen

Good luck to the winners!

24 lollipops were distributed in the kicking competition.
