BAKU, Azerbaijan – Canadians Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard and Arthur Margelidon earned medals Saturday at a judo Grand Slam event.
Beauchemin-Pinard earned silver in the under 60-kilogram class while Margelidon took home bronze in the men’s under 73-kilogram division.
On Friday, Canadian Christa Deguchi, of Lethbridge, Alta., won gold in the under-57 kilogram class. She received the medal in a walkover when her opponent, Kosovo’s Nora Gjakova, had to withdraw due to injury.
Beauchemin-Pinard faced Austrian Lubjana Piovesana in her final. Piovesana scored an ippon after more than four minutes of overtime to secure the victory.
Margelidon ended a 15-month medal drought by downing Rashid Mammadaliyev of Uzbekistan in the bronze medal final. He earned the win by scoring a waza-ari in the dying seconds of regulation time to secure his first medal since in today’s bronze medal final.
