Grand Prix East 2021

The WOW team had a great time and did well at the tournament. Although T was unable to attend because of an injury and a funeral we had to attend he wanted to take a moment and congratulate his teammates. Here’s a list of his teammates accomplishments at the tournament:

Chris - gold

Greg - silver

Tori - silver

David - bronze

Banks - bronze

Marlizaan - gold

Nathan - silver

Crosby - bronze

Luke (exhibition) - gold

Hayes - silver

Exhibition means they didn’t have a fight so they automatically won gold but did a fight with someone outside of their bracket in order to be able to have an actual fight. 

So proud of all the kids. Wished we could have been there to cheer them on and we would have been had we not had an Ortho appointment and funeral to go to. 

When T saw what would have been his bracket and who got gold he was even more frustrated over being injured. The person that won gold T has beat every time they’ve fought. But that’s water under the bridge and now we get on with healing and looking forward to when T can compete again. Missing in action in what could have been a great competition season for T  is a bitter pill to swallow especially after working so hard to get where he was before the injury.  But that is the nature of sports. Injuries happen and recovery from them has to take place. He’s young and he’ll be back fighting soon and he can make forward movement once he’s able to compete again.
