The judokas of the Club de Judo de Boucherville shone at the national championships held in Montreal from May 18th to 21st. They won 16 medals, 7 gold, 5 silver and 4 bronze medals.
“No club can boast of such good performance over the years,” said the club’s president, Frédéric Bourque. The Boucherville judokas were able to compete with Canada’s best athletes on the tatami mats of the Pierre-Charbonneau Centre. More than 1,500 fights were contested by the approximately 1,000 athletes present. The Boucherville club won 90 and suffered 64 losses.
Catherine Toshkov
Catherine Toshkov from Sainte-Julie finished the competition with two gold medals in the category – 57 kg; one in the U2 category and one in the Senior category.
It was hard to find an athlete who smiled more than she did at the awards ceremony.
“It’s been going really, really well for me and I couldn’t be prouder at the moment,” said Julievilloise.
The new champion thus adds two new gold medals to her record, which has improved further in recent months thanks in particular to victories at the Canadian Elite Championships, the Canada Games and last weekend in Montreal.
The judokas from Boucherville, Tristan Bourque, Vincent Roberge-Poitras, Olivier Bry, Frédéric Bourque and Éric de Rome from Varennes also won medals.
