The day's performances gave reason to smile

In the match competitions in Porvoo, all the emotions that belong to a good sports event were once again felt. The competition day of the taekwondo athletes included joy, excitement, fun, solidarity and of course some disappointments. However, when the team left the hall, accompanied by the last TU shouts, there was really reason to smile. A great start to the autumn season!

A few athletes opened up their own thoughts about the day's feelings:

Bardia (Men -80kg, 1st)
”Sain kannustuksesta energiaa ja joukkue ja koutsit olivat aivan parhaita! Päivästä mieleen jäivät kaikki asiat!”

Iines (Cadets, -37kg, 1st)
”Jostain syystä ei välillä edes tuntunut siltä, että olisi ollut kisoissa. Päivästä jäi mieleen tiukka ratkaisupiste semifinaalin jatkoerässä sekä se, että onnistuin pitämään vastustajat kaukana omalla potkuetäisyydelläni.”

Eddie (Juniors, -68kg, 1st)
”Hyvä päivä. Erityisesti mieleen jäi viime hetken takakierto päähän, joka ratkaisi semifinaalin voiton.”

Chahrazed (Juniors, -68kg, 1st)
”Olen tyytyväinen omaan suoritukseeni, mutta siskon puolesta jäi harmittamaan finaalitappio. Päivästä jäivät mieleen joukkueen yhteishenki ja kannustus.”

Plum (Cadets -57kg, 1st)
”Kiva fiilis. Päivästä jäi mieleen oma loukkaantuminen” (huom. voitto siitä huolimatta!)

Sara (Cadets -59kg, 3rd)
”Päivästä jäi hyvä fiilis. Olen tyytyväinen siihen, miten ottelin erittäin kovaa vastustajaa vastaan. Päivästä jäi mieleen joukkueen kannustus.”

Milay (E1 juniors -26kg, 2nd)
”Hyvä fiilis jäi ensimmäisistä kisoista. Ei jännittänyt kovin paljoa.”

Markus (D2 juniors -30kg)
”Hyvä fiilis jäi vaikka oma potku osuikin vahingossa vastustajaa päähän. Päivästä jäi mieleen hauskuus ja se, että jännitti vain vähän.”

Aino (Cadets -37kg, 2nd)
”Päivästä jäi pandamainen fiilis (potku osui silmään). Mieleen jäi se, että kunto kesti todella hyvin.”

Jenny (Cadets -33kg and -37kg, 3. 3.)
”Ihan ok fiilis jäi. Päivästä jäi mieleen, että sain hyvät matsit enkä olisi aluksi uskonut, että selviän noin hyvin koko matsin todella kovaa venäläistä vastaan.”

Max (Promise of the Future)
”Otteleminen näyttää hyvältä. En ehkä itse vielä menisi, mutta pian kyllä!”

Special mention goes to Emilia Lahti and Abdelhak Lemzouri, who shared justice in the role of judge. Abdelhak, who has been rehabilitated as an IR judge, made his debut on the Finnish competition mats, and Emmi gave her first judge appearances and, looking from the sidelines, quite a model!

Thanks to the whole team for a great day! Let's continue the determined work in the gym. :)

At the belt exams in August, the enthusiasts who trained hard in the summer received their reward in the form of new belt values. The level of competence was quite good and the emphasis on training was especially evident. The basic technical performances of those participating in the competition groups of business series were unparalleled, as well as the match competitors showed how match situations are managed.

Congratulations to all those who completed the new belt rank!
