Christa Deguchi represents Canada since 2017...

 

and despite she was born and raised in Japan, she has all the rights to do it because her father is Canadian...

Is she based in Canada though? I don't expect judo being remotely a thing over there

he wouldn't win against Butbul even if the Israeli guy fights blindfolded...

I don't know for sure, but I think nowadays she has to be based with their team (where she also has a very good training partner/opponent in Jess Klimkait in the same weight class and Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard in the -63kg class)...

 

of course it's not like in Japan, but Canada are enjoying quite a good team in recent times (also among the men)...

 

they've won a lot of medals in the IJF World Tour in the last few seasons (and also this morning Constantin Gabun had a very good tournament and lost only at the Golden Score against Orujov in the round of last 16, after beating in the earlier fight the Pole Wiktor Mrowczynski), which is quite a good first step towards building a winning team also in the global events...

 

so, maybe Canadian Judo it's not a big deal, but for sure it's "a respectable thing"...

I wasn't saying that Butbul is that good...actually, I was trying to let you know that Nourine is very, very modest...that's all...

Maybe instead of abandoning against  athletes people should try to, ya know, beat them?

His only win was against Haiti. It was a lost cause either way.
