General Interest

General
MISSING RIO
He missed out on competing at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro through injury, but travelled with the Canadian judo team to the Games in Brazil in a non-competing capacity. He hopes to realise his Olympic dream in Tokyo in 2021 and plans to continue competing until the 2024 Games in Paris, where he was born. "I'd be lying if I said it [missing Rio in 2016] didn't affect me. It would have been a great achievement to win a medal in Rio. It's been two Olympic cycles that I've been waiting. Whatever happens in 2021, whether the Games are held or not, in my head I know I'm going to continue on until Paris in 2024." (ici.radio-canada.ca, 02 Aug 2020)

He has also studied kinesiology at the University of Montreal [UdeM] in Quebec, Canada. (judocanada.org, 26 Oct 2019)
