Ottawa, ON (August 17, 2025) \u2013 After a challenging but valuable learning experience in the individual competitions at the 2025 Curitiba Boccia World Cup, three Canadian athletes returned to action in the BC1\/2 team event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kristyn Collins<\/b> (St. John\u2019s, NL), <\/span>Lance Cryderman<\/b> (Val Caron, ON), and <\/span>Olivier Roy<\/b> (Quebec City, QC) teamed up for the second stage of the event, but the Canadian trio unfortunately lost all four of their matches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Losses of 9-1 to Portugal, 23-0 to Brazil, 10-5 to Mexico, and 10-3 to Hong Kong kept them from tasting victory on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a tough tournament, but we still had opportunities to perform. There were some lack of execution and missed chances in the team event games,\u201d said national coach <\/span>Simon Larouche<\/b>, who was encouraged by the performance of World Cup rookie Olivier Roy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis was only his second time competing in the team event, so he gained a lot of experience. In that context, it was a valuable step in his development. It\u2019s encouraging for what lies ahead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The next boccia World Cup will take place in South Korea in September, followed by the Americas Regional Championships in Cali, Colombia, in early October.<\/span><\/p>\n
