Teemu and Juho K. in Burgos

Post date 27.11.2011

ESP, FIN, FRA — Heavy category medal trio of the Burgos competition

Teemu and Juho started their Spanish camp weekend with a small competition in the beautiful city of Burgos, a couple of hundred kilometers north of Madrid. Teemu beat both his Spanish and French opponents. Juho cleared his first challenge with a routine, but in the second match travel fatigue was visible, and Juho was not able to perform at his sharpest. So the training buddy from Madrid grabbed Juho's place in the finals and Juho won a bronze medal from the Games. The races dragged on late, and after a long car ride, we didn't get to the hotel in Madrid until a little before three in the morning.
