Teijo Kööpikkä, sponsored by eGate, has achieved a remarkable feat in his competitive sports career. At the World Championships held in Kobe, Japan, at the end of May, Teijo secured a bronze medal in the F57 para-athletics shot put category. His throw of 6 centimeters below his personal best earned him a spot on the podium. Despite a relatively short preparation period, Teijo’s focus remains on the upcoming Paralympic Games in Paris, where he aims to perform at his peak. Currently in a 1.5-month training phase, he continues to enhance his physical capacity to ensure he competes at his best on September 6th in Paris. The eGate team congratulates Teijo Köpikkä on this outstanding achievement!
