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.

Pauli Raivio to work for Taekwondo athletes

Malminkartana Takamäki 3
Pauli on the stairs.

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
