Sara Quinones was the best TU competitor on day 2 of the Berlin Open. She took gold in the girls' category, defeating the Catalan champion in the final.

Plum, Luca and Aino missed their first matches. Tuikku fought well, but lost his second match in the overtime.

The Berlin Open gathered more than 1,000 competitors in the German capital. On the first day, TU11 took a big catch.

Among the competitors, Eddie Quinones had the best performance, who competed higher than his normal division in the cadet boys under 61 kilos. The two Poles had only come to lose. So a clear series win for Eddie and a nose to cheek for the final opponent.

In the movement series, all participants took medals, while Aino Kortelainen and Luca Leskinen took silver in the pair series, and Sara Quinones and Plum Kopisto took bronze. Aino strengthened Austria's group of three, resulting in a series win.

In their matches, Sami Leskinen and Severi Sarala missed the first round and Emilia Lahti the second. However, the performances were good. Berlin Open 2017 will surely be a medal race for them too.

Tuikku Holopainen pushed for bronze with two match wins and one loss. All matches were decided in golden point.

Severi Sarala lost his match and was thus placed 5-8. A great opening when the score was 14-13.
