Judo Canada invited the ever so wonderful Sensei Tina Takahashi to the Canadian Juvenile and IJF Junior Championships in Lethbridge AB on July 1-2 to receive an award.
The Certificate of Recognition reads: "To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Canadian Judo Championships for Women, Judo Canada wishes to recognize Tina Takahashi National Champion 1976, for being a pioneer in women’s competitive judo in Canada".
Sensei Tina also received a couple of Judo Canada t-shirts and knapsack with pins, water bottle, and travel mug.
Yvonne Lestrange and Michelle Boileau both former Ontario teammates attended as well.
Congratulations Tina! A well deserved recognition for one of Canada’s premier female athletes (in any sport.)
