Two young table tennis players from Nemen\u010din\u0117 Sports School in Lithuania\u2019s Vilnius District helped the Lithuanian cadet girls\u2019 team win gold at the 2026 Northern European Junior and Cadet Table Tennis Championships.<\/p>\n
Karina Milto and Kaja Tvorogal represented Lithuania at the tournament, held from June 25 to 28 in Rakvere, Estonia. Milto also won a bronze medal in the individual cadet girls\u2019 event, while Tvorogal finished in the 5th-8th place range.<\/p>\n
Vilnius District is the municipality surrounding Lithuania\u2019s capital, Vilnius, and Nemen\u010din\u0117 is one of its towns. For the local sports school, the results marked a strong international showing by athletes developed outside the country\u2019s largest urban sports centres.<\/p>\n
The Lithuanian cadet girls\u2019 team started the championship with two group-stage wins. Lithuania defeated Finland 3:1 and then beat host country Estonia 3:0.<\/p>\n
The semifinal against Latvia was closer. Lithuania won 3:2 after a difficult match and advanced to the final. In the title match, the Lithuanian team defeated Sweden 3:0 to become Northern European champions in the cadet girls\u2019 category.<\/p>\n
Milto and Tvorogal were part of the Lithuanian team that earned the gold medals. Their results were reported by Vilnius District Municipality, citing information and photographs from Markas Vaitonis, a teacher at Vilnius District Nemen\u010din\u0117 Sports School.<\/p>\n
In the individual cadet girls\u2019 competition, Karina Milto reached the podium and won bronze. Individual events at this level require players to adjust quickly between opponents and maintain form across several matches, often after already competing in team events.<\/p>\n
Kaja Tvorogal also remained among the stronger players in the category, finishing between 5th and 8th place. Together, the results showed that both Nemen\u010din\u0117 athletes were competitive not only in the team format but also in individual play.<\/p>\n
The championship brought together young table tennis players from eight Northern European countries: Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland.<\/p>\n
Lithuanian representatives won 10 medals in total across the tournament. For young athletes, the Northern European championship is a regional test against players trained in different national systems and competition environments.<\/p>\n
For readers unfamiliar with Lithuania\u2019s sports structure, local sports schools such as the one in Nemen\u010din\u0117 play an important role in youth development. They provide regular training and competition preparation for children and teenagers in towns and municipalities outside the capital\u2019s main clubs.<\/p>\n
After the tournament in Rakvere, Milto and Tvorogal remained in Estonia to take part in an international training camp.<\/p>\n
The camp is intended to support preparation for the European Championships, scheduled to take place in Portugal from July 10 to 19. That competition will bring a wider field of opponents, making the experience gained in Rakvere part of the athletes\u2019 next stage of preparation.<\/p>\n
