Medals for taekwondo athletes from Porvoo

Good mood at the Porvoo Games

The team of taekwondo athletes collected medals of all colors from the match competitions in Porvoo on 10.10. In Porvoo, the junior and amateur series were played in the morning and the league series for all age groups in the afternoon.

In the morning, the Power Girls Aino, Sofia, Jenny and Sara cleaned the tables in their own sets. Aino played in three different series, taking a whopping eight matches, eight of which were victories. Thus, Aino has three gold medals and a well-deserved championship prize. Sofia and Jenny were superior in their own series, and the mutual battle was extremely tight until the end. However, Jenny took a longer stroke this time. Sara competed in two series, winning one and taking silver in the other.

The highlights of the afternoon's league series were Emmi's victories in both the cadet and junior series, as well as Eddie's dramatic battle with Nurmijärvi's Oskari Viinanen. Everyone seemed to be in the right mood for the match, and it's good to continue towards the Nurmijärvi Games.

All rankings

Aino Kortelainen – 1st / 1st / 1st (E1, E1 and D2)

Sofia Sarala – 2nd (E1)

Jenny Vettenniemi – 1. (E1)

Sara Quinones – 1st / 2nd (D1, D1)

  • NOTE! The elementary group of 7-14-year-olds does not have actual exercises on the day of the indoor competition. However, they can participate in the common warm-up part of indoor competitions and participate as a spectator. In the future, group members can participate in indoor competitions themselves
  • NOTE! The exercises for 3-6-year-olds have been combined into one group that practices from 17:00 to 18:00. The group then also has a playful competition day where they compete in various general physical skills.

The list can also be seen at the instructor's desk in the hall about a week before the exam.

Fun was had at Junnu's summer camp

The traditional summer fun of taekwondo athletes with junkies was a huge success this year as well. Taekwondo and skills were practiced for a total of 10 workouts, and in between the activity was relaxed by going outside and playing in the gym. From the taekwondo athletes, a big thank you to the entire camp team, parents, instructors and the food court Corelli! This is good for continuing summer training.

Those who qualify for the belt test will be announced in the gym on the board next to the instructor's desk at the beginning of week 20 and in connection with the exercises. Make sure with your instructor that you know the necessary things. The most important thing in the exam, however, is hard work and the process of doing things.
