Canadian student athletes, coaches, and staff from universities across the country have come together under USports Team Canada to compete in the FISU Summer World University Games in Germany this month. At the time of writing, Team Canada has claimed three medals: Nithan Brindamohan (Toronto Metropolitan University) earned a gold medal and Leonarda Andric (University of Ottawa) earned a bronze medal in their respective divisions of the taekwondo Kyorugi competition, while the Men’s Team—Ethan So (McMaster University), Gordon Cheuk (Simon Fraser University), and Kai-hsin Chang (Western University)—earned a bronze medal in the taekwondo Poomsae competition. The University of Alberta explains that this participation marks an important return for Team Canada, which did not participate in the last event in 2023.
