Introduction of the Coaching Staff for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games

Nouvelle

Montreal, September 11, 2019 – 316 days before the opening of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Judo Canada introduces their team of coaches who will bring the Canadian team to new heights in 2020. Sasha Mehmedovic will take the lead alongside Nicolas Gill in the last months of the Olympic preparation.

This change occurs after the departure of the men’s senior national team coach Michel Almeida. Native from Portugal, he decided to go back to Europe to take on new projects after nearly four years with the Canadian federation. The recent World Championships were his last mandate with the team.

Sasha Mehmedovic, who was already the women’s senior national team coach, will take on the new role for next season. Already part of the coaching staff of Judo Canada since 2013, Mehmedovic, a 2008 and 2012 Olympian, is ready to rise to the challenge as the coach of the men’s and women’s teams.
