Montreal, April 25, 2019 – The Canadian team showed up and performed on Wednesday at the Pan-American Kata Championships in Lima, in Peru.

For the first time in history, the tournament was part of the selection process to compete at the 2019 Kata World Championships held in Chungju, in South Korea, in September. Continental quotas were added this year, and with the results of the Canadian team, at least 4 different pairs should be qualified in 5 of the 10 events for the Americas.

“With the selection going on, the level of performance was very high, and our team offered a brilliant performance,” said Nicolas Gill, CEO and High Performance Director of Judo Canada, obviously pleased with their results.
