2026 PJC Senior Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Congratulations to Luke Thomson on an excellent performance today. He was able to bounce back from a frustrating fifth last week to finish second today.

Luke was dominant in all his preliminary matches with superior gripping, movement, attacks and effective ne-waza. Unfortunately in the final one small gripping mistake made the difference.

Elizabeth Cossitt fought hard today but unfortunately she was not able to make it to the final block. She battled in her matches but is missing some small tactical elements and experience.

2026 PJC U18 Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

It was a good day for Judo Alberta at the 2026 U18 PJC Cup in Santo Domingo with our athletes performing very well. This level of competition is a perfect event for our athletes to enter into the international scene. It is still challenging but allows athletes to win matches and medals. Competing at the Pan-American Level and learning this particular style is important for future events.

Drake had a good day today in the U21 90kg division taking advantage of the mistakes of his opponents. He lost a close final three penalties to two penalties.
Addyson and Elizabeth both lost tight bronze medal matches finishing with one win and two losses. Unfortunately Maia was injured in the semi-final and was not able to compete for the bronze medal. It is a challenging competition because of the heat and humidity but our athletes battled hard. Go Alberta Go!

Congratulations to Emiliya Aliyeva today for battling her way to a 7th place finish at the 2026 Cadet World Championships in Guayaquil, Ecuador. She opened the day beating the 16th ranked Maia GVALADZE from Georgia with a rolling choke and then she defeated the number 8th ranked Ballalo COULIBALY TOURE from Spain with a counter in golden score. Unfortunately she could not keep the momentum going in her next two matches. She fought bravely and showed a lot of determination. Great Job! Judo Alberta and Judo Canada are very proud of you! Onto the team matches tomorrow!
