Tenerife Championships 2016
Jack Woolley has been a stranger to these shores in recent times as he is the training partner for Finlands Olympic hopeful Suvi Mikkonen. The now 2 time Olympian who placed 5th in London recruited Jack to be her sparring partner, and while away at the final pre-Rio camp in Tenerife jack took part in the Tenerife Championships. True to form Jack secured a well earned gold in the stifling heat and kept himself in good shape for the next rounds of World Ranking events. His coach Robert Taaffe noted, ‘Jack was very patient and confident and fought with great composure. It was good to get some good mat time before the next world ranking event’. The 17b year old now returns home to focus on his studies going into his leaving cert year, and will take advantage of events not colliding with his important school commitments.
