Another chance for glory on the world stage awaits a standout Judo athlete from Prince George.
Carla Van Zyl of the Hart Judo Academy is representing Canada at the Junior World Championships in Lima Peru starting on Sunday.
In August, Van Zyl claimed bronze for Canada in the 57-kilogram category at the Junior Pan American Games in Paraguay.
Van Zyl is no stranger to success as she was named Judo Canada’s U-18 Athlete of the Year in 2023-24.
Judo Canada then selected her as the U21 Female Athlete of the Year at their 2024-25 Awards gala in May.
