Color straight medals from Sweden

The business series team of taekwondo athletes did not rest much on their laurels after the German race, when the trip continued directly to Helsingborg, Sweden for the President's Cup G1 race.

In the adult series, the competition was based on the elimination system, which means that in order to reach the next round, the competitor must always be better than his opponent. Christian Kamphuis won two singles matches and thus advanced to the final. Unfortunately, the final battle ended with a small margin in favor of the Danish opponent. Silver for Christian from a tough race.

In the U-15 series, Aino Kortelainen had quite a performance, which helped her win the entire series. On top of the great performance, Aino also took silver with Alex Jürgens in the U15 pairs. Also, Alex's strong hold continued in the individual series and the result was bronze, just like in Germany. Unfortunately, Sofia Sarala did not advance to the final round in the U15 series.

Congratulations to the medalists and happy training!

Core-exercises focus on strengthening the muscles of the upper body. The goal is to build a strong core that supports other training, supports body control and mobility, and prevents back and joint problems.

The match team has a great competitive spirit

Taekwondo's Finnish championships were contested this year right at the beginning of the year as part of the multi-sport event of the SM week in winter Joensuu. The victory-hungry taekwondo team jumped on the bus from Helsinki on Friday and the long drive flew by in an instant, fueled by a great sense of togetherness. On the way back on Saturday, the bus was full of tired, but even more satisfied athletes. There was also cause for victory celebrations, as no fewer than 15 championships were won in the match and five in the business series.

A few of the adult series were televised For YLE's broadcast and not Chahrazed Boughraran the match and the amazing overtime win left no one cold on the spot and certainly not behind the screens either. Adding to the value of the championship was the fact that the competition was Chahra's first in the adult leagues, even though she is still officially a junior. The chairman of the club also took the championship Teemu Heino, who took his 21st championship. The last time a man was beaten in Finland was in 1996, and not a teammate Riku Kytömäki was able to break the chain. However, for Riku, the championship is represented by a man from one weight class lower in two series. He also reached the championship in adults Bardia Mirzaei. Severi Saralan was settling for bronze.

In juniors (15-17 years) power duo Lauri Hulikkala and Plum Duplicator have been able to fight each other in recent years, but after Plum moved to a higher weight class, both had a chance for the brightest medal. The boys did a great job, championships for both. Chaimaa Boughrara also continued to have complete control in his own weight class and took the championship with quite a lot of points. Competing in juniors for the first time Juuli Mankonen immediately got into the rhythm of the match and there was no doubt about the winner as Juuli took the championship. They also won the championship Eddie Quinones. Honey La's and Renad Almalkyn the active training approach was visible as a clear development in the performances, but still silver for both in this batch.

The cadet series (12-14 years old) also saw great performances. Iines Korhonen fought as if in ecstasy and the results were also in line with it: championship in two weight classes with clear point differences. Jenny Vettenniemi showed a strong will to fight by determinedly seeking winning points until the last set of the match. The hard work was rewarded and Jenny got gold to take home. Debuted in the cadet series Teemu Takala immediately fixed the entire pot by winning his own series. Venne Viitaniemi participated in two series, one of which won gold and the other silver. Sara Quinones took gold like his brother one age class below. Markus Liuko was, as usual, quite a firecracker on the field, but despite the tight competition, he was satisfied with the bronze.

For Christian, the triple championship in business series

On the business series side Christian Kamphuis won almost everything there is to win. Christian took the championship in the tough men's under-30 series. The level of the series is told by the fact that the top three were the same in the PM competitions a few weeks ago, but this time the order changed as Christian reached the highest podium. Christian also won the freestyle series and the under-30 group series together with Turku Budokwa's Frans Salme and Olli Siltanen. The individual series championship was also won Laura Kinnunen, who, in addition to his own competition, worked as a coach for the rest of the team. Laura found great focus and precision in what she was doing. Eero Halenius was in the adult series for the first time and immediately gave good displays. Rank fifth in this round. Elina Tikkanen participated only in the group series together with HIPKO's Linda Räkköläinen and Tampere Kumgang Taekwondo's Nea Säynäjoki. The team won silver.

On the junior side, they took the championship Aino Kortelainen and Alex Jurgens from the under-17 pairs series, and both won silver in their own under-15 individual series. On the girls side Bella Buri took bronze and Sofia Saralan and Victoria Hentunen was content with fourth and fifth instead. In the group series for girls under 17 years old, there was a tight battle for positions. Aino and Sara got silver together with Kuopio Taekwondo's Airada Heikkinen. Bella, Sofia and Victoria were right behind with bronze. Luca Leskinen continued his freestyle debut a few weeks ago by grabbing bronze in the series. With a few corrections, Lucas can be quite a factor in freestyle, because there is no lack of air or skill in the turns.

In both forms of competition, a high percentage of medals went to Helsinki. Congratulations to the champions and medalists.

In the PM competitions in Oslo, a tough level in both competition formats

The Nordic championships were hunted in Oslo on January 18. with nearly 500 athletes. The level of competition was tough, and especially in the business series, the series were big. The Finnish representation at the games was strong and so were the Taekwondo athletes. The performances of the athletes were also strong and the team's feeling was high.

Christian and Ville become champions in the business series

The business series competition didn't go completely smoothly in terms of arrangements, but this one didn't Christian's hindered the going. In freestyle, the competition against the Danes was tough, but Christian's performance did not leave anyone cold, and the judges also shared this opinion. The Nordic championship earned as a reward. The championship in the U30 individual series was extremely close as Christian finished second in a tie with Budokwa's Olli Siltanen, who won the series. However, the difference in presentation points turned the advantage to Olli's side. The series became a handsome triple victory for Finland, with Budkowai's Frans Salme grabbing the triple. The same trio also took silver in the U30 group series, so they each made quite a mark in the games. In the O30 series, the champion was declared Ville after high-quality and confident performances. Ville also won the second championship from the O30 group together with Vihti's Jeppe Aukio and Helsinki Taekwondo's Kim Reiman. A top performance from Ville as well.

The performances of the cadets of the trains were also excellent. Alina won a wonderful silver in the U17 freestyle, even though on the morning of the competition day it was still uncertain whether Alina would even be able to compete due to the injury. However, the performance was confident and the vaults and jump kicks were airy. The cadets' individual series were big, but this didn't stop them Alexia advancing all the way to bronze in cadet boys. The difference to second place wasn't big either. Alex reached too The only one with silver in cadet pairs. A familiar trio Bella, Vicky and Sophia also improved their last year's bronze to silver in the cadet girls' groups. The cadet girls' series was big and of a tough standard. Aino made it all the way to the final round, but fell short of the prize places. Luca made the first freestyle race performance of his life without prejudice in a big race in front of a big audience. The performance was great and the tricks were the best in the series, but the satisfaction was in this round instead of fifth.

The general appearance of the business series team was good, and one can especially be satisfied with how the athletes achieved good performances when the race day was delayed and the conditions became more and more uncertain due to equipment failures. A lot of high-level racers were left behind, so we can expect a successful racing season. The main goal of the spring season is the Danish World Championships organized in May for most of the competition team members. The next stage on the way towards this goal is the Joensuu SM competitions at the turn of January and February.

Gold for the match to Iines

On the side of the match, Iines won the brightest medal among the Taekwondo athletes, and even more so overwhelmingly. Iines won his match with clear point differences, and at no point was it unclear who would take the championship from the series. Also Severus was at a high speed when he took the wins in the opening round and in the semar against his Norwegian opponents. The tight twist in the opening lap in particular caused heart palpitations in the stands, but Severi's control of the situation held as well as the lead at the buzzer. In the final, he faced quite a technical genius, who deservedly won the gold. Severi's performances do promise good things going forward.

A boat stylishly cut and stacked his first two opponents to advance to the finals. Unfortunately, at the beginning, a few clear Main Hits were scoreless, and at the end, Venne couldn't really catch up to his match rhythm. Still, silver at the end of a great day. Janika again managed to get into his own rhythm, but still had to bow out in both matches of his pool series. Bring home a bronze.

They worked hard in the trains Plum and Lauri. Plum was able to wrestle even more after moving to the -68kg weight class. The first twist ended with Plum's stylish victory, but in the second the opponent pulled a longer stroke with a few good changes of rhythm. Lauri immediately faced the eventual winner of the series in the opening round and this time he was unable to match the Norwegian's moves. On the other hand, the match left the impression that on a good day the points could turn in Lauri's favor.

The next stage of the match team is also the Joensuu SC competition to be organized in a few weeks. Based on the PM games, the direction is right and you can go to the SM games with an open-minded and winning attitude.

Congratulations to all medalists!
