Keoma-Ali Al-Ahmadieh and Wyatt Sanford both lost their SF matches 5-0, and win bronze.

Keven Beausejour makes it 3-3 today in terms of bronze medals

[intoronto 6,891]

Tammara Thibeault and Scarlett Delgado both win gold!

[intoronto 6,891]

Two medals guaranteed at the Women's world Championships!

[JoshMartini007 2,861]

Both events will be Olympic events so that's good to hear.

[intoronto 6,891]

Both into the finals!

[intoronto 6,891]

 Tammara Thibeault won gold! And Charlie Cavanagh won Silver (she looked good in the first 2 mins, but then was dominated the rest of the way). Cavanagh is still young and should develop. The other who competed (Scarlett Delgado and Priyanka Dhillon) lost to eventual medalists in their events.

 

Thibeault and Delgado are guaranteed the Commonwealth Games, and at least two men will be named to the team, leaving two slots open. Cavanagh is not guaranteed a spot according to the qualification system, as events until April are looked at. Would be a travesty if she is not sent.
