Up, 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.
The 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.
As a match referee!
The match referee committee of the Finnish Taekwondo Association will organize a match referee basic course in Helsinki on Saturday, November 23, 2013.
Do you want to develop your sport skills in a new and interesting way?
The match referee's basic course provides the skills to act as a corner referee and, to a limited extent, as a center referee in domestic matches. The basic course includes preliminary assignments, the next day, a theory test and a demonstration test given in a separately agreed competition.
The course participant must be at least 16 years old and have a 6th kup belt (or equivalent).
The club supports the participants!

At the beginning of September, TU11 took a big step forward when Pauli Raivio started as a paid coach and secretary in our club.
Natural selection
"Pauli's contribution has already been significant as an assistant director in our club before. When the workload has increased significantly as the club grows, we wanted to hire an employee to maintain the service level. Pauli was a natural choice, he has made an impression with his attitude and skills," states the club's vice president Sampo Pajulampi.
Overseeing and taking care of daily affairs
Paul's duties include guidance almost every day. In addition, taking care of daily affairs is a key set of tasks. The best way to contact Paul is by email pauli@taekwondourheilijat.fi or info@taekwondourheilijat.fi or by phone at 044 050 1890.
Suvi Mikkonen and Jesus Ramal were also seen there, who will also direct the exercise on August 28. at 20:00.
Jesus was impressed by the strong potential of a few contestants to grow into top contestants.
The matches were held in two areas, one of which was using DaeDo's e-armor systems.
