4 Bronze
Congratulations to The whole Team the training partners, the players who did their best but missed out on a medal.
To the coaching Team who give their time, experience, expertise and support, they are the foundations on which all the successes are built.
To parents who commit week in week out, who drive, who are there encouraging, backing, pushing when needs be and giving a cuddle when things don’t go according plan.

The expectations are high to truly give your best, not to win, but to try. When you do that you always win 🏆

Well done everyone take a second to enjoy the moment, take the rest of the day off.
See you tomorrow on the mat.
With RESPECT

RESULTS CANADIAN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
🥇 Gold - Maia Thomson
🏅 Bronze - Luke Thomson
An amazing result for Luke and Maia. For those who don’t know Luke and Maia both British & Scottish number 1s many times have now committed to become full time athletes for Team Canada 🇨🇦 through their Mum Lori being a Canadian National. Why Canada 🇨🇦 simply because Canadian who finished 5th in the medal table at last weeks World Championships offer one of the best full time judo set ups in the World.
The medals won in Montreal this weekend by Luke and Maia are game changers and firmly confirm their place on the Canadian Team 🇨🇦
Every so often it’s vital to perform this weekend was one of those times.
This coupled with Sophie Woods double gold in Sweden 🇸🇪 highlights the opportunities at Sportif Judo for those who are prepared to commit to a performance lifestyle
WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED Great weekend guys. Stop for a second to enjoy the fruits of your hard work and commitment
With Respect Team Sportif
