'Fighting in the Olympics is obviously exceptional (and) I obviously dreamed of making a result here, so it’s not how I wanted it to go'

After the match, the La Prairie, QC., resident commented on the world-class talent at the Tokyo Games, while expressing disappointment for not earning a spot in the Round of 16.

Guica was a prohibitive long shot to medal at the Games, just squeezing under the bar for a top-30 world ranking in her weight division. The 30-year-old Van Snick scored a waza-ari at 2:38 of the four-minute match, an ippon ending the contest with 1:01 remaining as the Belgian pinned the left arm of Guica to the mat. The Canadian appeared to be in considerable pain as she cradled her left arm immediately following the pin, while resting on her knees. Van Snick also received a Shido penalty during the match.

A waza-ari is a throwing technique that shows power and superiority but isn’t clear enough to be an ippon.Article content

Canada to resettle Afghans who worked with military, embassy: Liberal ministersThe announcement was light on details, including who will be eligible for resettlement and when people now in danger from the Taliban for helping Canada will… kuku27 Good decision I sure as hell hope so. The least we can do for them, after we have abandon them. The taliban will be ruthless to them for their service to us during the war. The interpreters are some of the bravest and most loyal people I met while I was fighting over there. Kudos for doing the right thing. Thank you. Veterans are they to be reimbursed for their work to help the Afghans? Expenses at least.
