Sara won her first match in show style 13-0. In the semi-final, Israel's Romy Chmilevsky fell 12-6. In the final, Sara faced Spain's Elsa Hernandez, coached by Jesús Ramal. The Spaniard won the pot this time, but for Sara to take home a great silver.

Eddie clearly won 13-0 against his German opponent Emir Munir-Sabanuc and advanced to the semi-finals of his tough series. However, Germany's Mohammed Ali pulled a longer stroke and progressed all the way to winning the series. Bronze for Eddie.

Emmi started her own match strongly by taking a 3-0 lead with a back kick. However, the opponent tightened up and after a tight fight, Emmi had to give up, finishing 6th-10th.

Taekwondo athletes' events at the beginning of the year

 

Information for the beginning of the year for taekwondo athletes

Happy new year to all fans of the club! Training has started again in January in Konala with the same schedule as in the fall. The group divisions have not changed either. If you currently do not know in which group you should train, contact the instructors. In Tapiola, there have been some minor changes to training times and groups, which you should check on the website on the Tapiola subpage.

As spring rolls around, the events of Taekwondo athletes as well as other clubs and federations start to become more frequent. The most important spring events have been compiled in this newsletter, but you should also keep an eye on the news releases on our website and subscribe to the newsletter if you haven't done so yet. It is also worth checking the event calendar of the Finnish Taekwondo Association from time to time. Participation in the association's events and Taekwondo athletes' belt exams requires the possession of the association's sport license. So if the license is still missing for this year, I'll go to the website of the Taekwondo Association to order it.

Have a really good and fast-paced year!
