The judo competitions began on Saturday at the Pan American Games in Santiago and a Quebecer has already reached the podium in his category. Julien Frascadore won the silver medal in the under 66 kg category following a defeat against Venezuelan Willis Alberto Garcia Estrada in the grand final.
Frascadore started the tournament with an ippon victory in overtime against Mexican Robin Sergio Jara Arana. A similar scenario occurred later, as he continued his journey with the upper hand over the Ecuadorian Lenin Preciado, who was penalized a third time in overtime. The Quebecer subsequently took advantage of the three shidos awarded to the Peruvian Juan Postigos to advance to the final.
This is not the result I wanted, especially after my victory at the Pan American Championships. I’m disappointed with the way the final ended, he said. I had some big challenges throughout the day that I was able to overcome. It’s certain that losing in the final leaves a bit of a bitter taste.
Looking back, I think I will be proud of this medal. I think I had a good day.
In equestrian sports, Colleen Loach and her mount Fe Golden Eye took 11th place in the cross country with a score of 41.8.
In the team rankings, Loach and his teammates Linday Traisnel, Karl Slezak and Michael Winter are in third place with a cumulative score of 105.2. The Americans (86.2) and Brazilians (101.5) are still ahead of them.
The ultimate aerials event will be presented on Sunday.
