This evening, one of our very own athletes and coaches, Olivia Knights, departs Perth on a long journey to Lima, Peru, where she will proudly represent Australia at the 2025 Junior Panamerican-Oceania Championships!
Olivia has earned selection in the Women’s Under 57kg division and enters the tournament as the 5th seed out of 20 athletes, thanks to her remarkable #20 world ranking on the IJF Junior World Ranking List.
She is set to take to the tatami this Saturday, 19 April, with matches expected to begin at approximately 10:00pm Perth time.
