The Para-taekwondo World Championships got off to a great start when the only Finnish representative, Matti Sairanen, defeated Brazilian Jadson Santos Silva 6-4 in the semi-finals. Matti competes in the men's 68 kg category, disability class A6.
In the final, he faced Azeri Nijat Muslimov. The match was extremely tight, but at the end the score was 1-2 in favor of Azeri.
"A great fight from Mati, even though the legs were in bad shape from the hits in the first match. Azeri was really tough, but the tactic lasted almost until the end. There wasn't much left for the gold medal," says the team's coach Sampo Pajulampi. "The improvement to last year's European Championships in Moscow was clear," says Mati's father, Tapani Sairanen, who was the team manager.

The taekwondo athletes were successful on 3.11. excellently in the organized championships.
Hilla Palviainen in the women's under 67 kg category and Sophia Vassilaki in the cadet girls' under 44 kg category were responsible for the best performances. Both Hilla and Sophia won the series and got gold medals around their necks. In addition, Hilla won gold in the girls' under 68 kg category, when no other contestants dared to enter the category. Silver was won by Tanja Lovikka in the women's under 49 kg category and Juho "Jouko" Ranta in the men's over 87 kg category. In addition, taekwondo instructor Pauli Raivio won the men's category under 67 kg, albeit representing Lahti Taekwondo.
The level of the tournament did not become dizzying, but great competitors and matches were seen in many series. Hilla's victory over Maria Heikkinen, who is considered top talent, was a real thriller until the end. However, the final result was completely clear and the point difference was quite fair.
