Fighting above her weight class turned into a bronze medal for a Prince George Judo athlete.

15-year-old Olivia Wisniowski of the Northern Judo Club reached the podium at the 2025 Copa Minas de Judo in Brazil after competing in the senior women’s 78-kg category.
Olivia is in Brazil with Team BC along with three other Prince George products including Preston Holt and Alandra Steiger of the PG Judo Club and Yannick Schimann (Hart Judo Academy).
In addition, Jason Zazelenchuk (Northern Judo Club) is competing at the Summer Judo Nationals in Honolulu, Hawaii this weekend (July 19 and 20).
