So far the weather in Finland has been outstanding this summer, lots of sunshine and all-time record temperatures (37,2 degrees). Nothing to complain about, just hoping it will last three more weeks...
Now time flies and most of the competitions are already behind us and we can actually be quite content. We started off with one tournament victory in Mouhijärvi, beating the Finnish champions in the final. This was followed with a third place at the first event of the Pro Tour in Kuopio, quite a respectable result, too. Only at the Pro Tour in Lahti we let it slip a little, as Esko/Tuominen and the U23 Nationalteam Parviainen/Väisänen denied us to advance to the semi-finals and we had to settle with fifth place.

Only the top 10 men and the top 6 women teams are qualified for the championship, so the Pro Tour event in Helsinki might still change things a little. Below you can as well find the Excel-files, in order to experiment with different outcomes yourself.
