Two More Silver and Two More Bronze Medals

Nouvelle

Montreal, July 6, 2019 – After the gold, silver and bronze medals won by Canadian athletes on the first day of the tournament, two silver and two bronze medals were added to the collection at the Montreal Judo Grand Prix on Saturday.

Antoine Valois-Fortier (-81 kg) and Kelita Zupancic (-70 kg) stood on the second step of the podium, and Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard (-63 kg) and Antoine Bouchard (-73 kg) each won a bronze medal.

Facing his sworn enemy, Rio Olympics bronze medallist Takanori Nagase, from Japan, the Quebecois was energetic during the fight. Nagase threw him and scored an ippon with a little over one minute left on the clock.
