Alliance Dominates
I was amazed to see the turnout at this years Canadian Open, spectators and competitors alike. The official number of grapplers far surpassed the numbers of last years success; over 600 I’m told by those in the know. Team Alliance hit the mats with high spirits, going strong until the final match of the day (ahem… which was mine – circa 8:30 pm – 12 hours after I had weighed in). In total Alliance left with four championship belts, over 6 silver medals, a couple bronze medals and a many respectable outings in huge divisions (30-50 men brackets). Special thanks to our coaches, Jeff Joslin and Dragan Konjevic, respectively. Couldn’t have done it without you.
P.S. I will try to have video of my matches online by Tuesday night Wednesday Thursday Friday… stay glued to your seats! Oooooh…
