Successful championships

1000px-Porin_coat-of-arms.svgThe Sm-kisat and the Pori Cup were a success

Taekwondo athletes match by match
Milla Väyrynen, SM – Cadets -37 Kg

In the first match, Milla fought Lotta Parta, who won the series. Lotta led the match until the last seconds, when Milla tied the match. In Sudden Death, Lotta would miss the head, but the judges gave the points. In the final, Partanen won 12-0 before full time. Bronze for Milla.

Kasper Wargelin, SM – Cadets -37 Kg

Kasper faced Santeri Helte, who knew how to reset Kassu's match well. Kassu couldn't make use of his best qualities and thus the defeat was a fact. Bronze for Kassu

Aaha Moullaev, SM – Cadets -53 Kg

Aaha was overweight for his series, but he competed above the series. Niko Saarinen was clearly better 21-4. Aaha gets bronze in the first cadet match.

Aleksi Väyrynen, SM – Cadets -41 Kg and SM – Youth -45 Kg

Aleksi had the same opponent in both series, Naantali's internationally experienced Keijo Soinio. In the first match, a good rhythm was already found, but the initial hesitation brought defeat. In the second match, the rhythm disappeared again and both sets won bronze.

Voker Feka, SM – Youth -63 Kg

Still a cadet, Voker debuted in the juniors, where the experienced Pessi Närhi was better. However, silver for Voker.

Tanja Lovikka, SM – Adults -49 Kg

Tanja couldn't find an opponent, so she took home the gold at the weigh-in.

Pauli Raivio, SM – Adults -68 Kg

Pauli I pressed the longest day of the whole team, when the final was the third match of the day. Henri Jutila fell in the first and Aleksi Nurisalo in the second. The final was exciting in advance, when Loviisa's Sami lahtinen faced off. Sami is a familiar opponent and training partner. The game was again decided by a questionable header, but one of the only international-level finals of the day was still a brilliant performance.

Petteri Kauppinen and Juho Kostianen SM – Adults -80 Kg

Gold for Juho and silver for Petter. In the first match, Petteri made a show of Wahid Ahmad. The second match also seemed to go great and Petteri pushed Juho hard.

Teemu Heino, SM – Adults +87 Kg

Teemu is still the number one big man in Finland. The match was relaxed and several physical difficulties did not prevent the final to be an overwhelming points victory. Teemu's 15th championship and a great display of the liberated match brought by the routine.

Megii Moullaev, D1 juniors -40 Kg

Megii played well at her level. The result is silver, which will surely brighten up in the near future.

The guardians are Sampo Pajulampi, Juho Ranta, Teemu Heino, Petteri Kauppinen, Juho Kostiainen and Pauli Raivio.

Camp in Madrid 26-30 December 2013 led by Jesus Ramal and Suvi Mikkonen

Summer and Jesus

1003873_10153134504120093_239740840_nJesus Ramal and Suvi Mikkonen will organize an international camp in Madrid on December 26-30, 2013. At least 2 athletes from our club will go to the camp. You go too. More information from Sampo.

Here is Suvi's message to Finnish taekwondo players:

"Finns! 26-30 December will be held in Madrid 2 winter camp! Last year the camp was amazing and this year many teams have already registered, for example: Mexico, Portugal, Scotland, Germany... And many others are interested. It is possible to get home accommodation with a family from our company, but there is not enough for everyone, so if you are interested, contact us and reserve your place!! Of course, you can also stay in a hotel. There is no information about the prices of the camp yet, but it is not expensive. Last year there were 3 Finns, I hope there will be more this year! There are 2 training sessions in 2 groups: children and cadets are 1 group and junior and senior are the other group. And the race on the last day. Are you going to miss it?”

A good opening of the competition season in Loviisa

1235931_10200673029329927_1872519671_nThe taekwondo athletes opened the autumn season at Loviisa's Junior Challenge. There were medals and one trophy.

Joni Ståhl and Sara Quinones took gold, Luca Leskinen, Kasper Wargelin and Severi Sarala took silver and Eddie Quinones took bronze. In addition, Luca was awarded as the fighter of the children's series.

The most special ranking is perhaps for Eddie, who played with Sever in a pool of three players. The wins were mixed and the Final Rankings do not really describe the events of the series. Sever and Eddie's "inter-member" was a real battle.

Kasper, who was the only one competing in the cadets, played a decent match, although getting used to the new rhythm was difficult in the first set. The final climb was tough, but not enough to win.

Bronze for taekwondo athletes from the St. Petersburg Baltic Sea Cup

1265831_10200644835665103_783470035_oUp, down, up, down…

St. Petersburg's Baltic Sea Cup is a traditional team invitational tournament, where the following team was sent this year:
58 kg Toni Lahtinen, Loviisa Taekwondo (Mustafa Yevloyev, St. Petersburg)
-68 kg Sami Lahtinen, Loviisa Taekwondo
-80 kg Juho Kostiainen, TU11
+80 Teemu Heino, TU11
Coach: Petteri Kauppinen, TU11
Physiotherapist: Juho Ranta, TU11
Technical delegate and team leader: Sampo Pajulampi, TU11

 

The first setback was felt already on Thursday, when Toni Lahtinen got a new assignment for the rest of his military service, which meant canceling his weekend vacations. The matter was investigated persistently on Friday, but even though the Defense Forces were willing to be flexible, Toni was not included.

Therefore, the young Mustafa Yevloyev from St. Petersburg came to strengthen the team, who, despite his hard effort, was clearly a weaker player than Toni.

In the first round, they faced the first team from Moscow. The whole team had a rough start, and the match ended in a draw after Mustafa and Sami lost their match. When the draw still brought the -58 kilos for the deciding match, and Mustafa couldn't find new drugs, the opening round defeat was a fact.

In the second round, St. Petersburg's second team gave up -58 and -68 kilograms due to injuries. Teemu and Juho handled their part in an exemplary manner.

1262983_10200644835225092_200613214_oThe bronze medal match took place as an 8-minute match, so that each weight class competed for one minute in two rounds. Manual scoring and flying substitutions were used.

Juho and Teemu's high percentage points in particular brought a clear victory for Finland.

So bring bronze medals and crystal drinking glasses.

At the evening banquet, we discussed cooperation and good help in both directions came about commendably.
