EC 2025 DAY 1 🥇🥇🥇
Historic day for French Poomsae with three European Champion titles, all signed by impressive performances from Moohan Team members.
In the morning, our captain easily reached the medal rounds by sucessively winning against Serbia and Great Britain. Then, he defeated in a tight match the 2022 Vice World Champion from Spain to get to the finals before claiming the U40 individual title against Turkey. A crazy few months, especially with his already very shiny Bronze medal in Hong Kong 2024! 🐐 Selgi then switched his dobok for coaching attire, and success ensued.
Quite bitter about his silver medal in Innsbruck 2023, definitely wanted a re-match against his long-time rival and several times European Champion friend from the Netherlands. He sucessively defeated Ireland, Germany, and Portugal to reach the finals. And what a showdown! Following the example set earlier that day by his captain, coach, and friend, he won the very coveted U30 individual title against the Netherlands. Hard work pays out.
And as we say in France, jamais deux sans trois! 👑
Our junior .tkd was already one of the grand favoris for the title after his two cadet silver medals in Innsbruck 2023 and recent successful junior seasons. He breezed through the tournament by winning against Slovenia and Austria before battling against a talented Italian athlete in semifinals, finishing ahead by a small margin. He then claimed the 2025 Junior title for his first participation in the group against the Netherlands, with 0.3 points to spare. The U30 group better braces itself for this young talent! 💎
Tomorrow, Moohan athletes will be competing in pairs and teams for another chance to hear the French national anthem 🫡
