Reyes wins judo gold, Godbout takes bronze for Canada at Commonwealth Games
Canada added two judo medals as Reyes won gold and Godbout earned bronze, helping the team finish with seven judo medals, including four gold.
On Sunday, August 2, 2026, judoka Kyle Reyes captured gold in the men's 100-kilogram division, while Coralie Godbout won bronze in the women's 78-kilogram weight class at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The Commonwealth Games concluded Sunday after 10 days of competition, with Canada finishing third in the medal table behind Australia and England with 62 total medals.
Track cyclist Maggie Coles-Lyster earned bronze in the women's elimination race, describing it as her "best season ever" following career-threatening surgery last year.
Coach Antoine Bouchard noted the team secured seven medals out of nine possible, while Quebec City's Julien Frascadore carried Canada's flag into the closing ceremony after winning men's 66-kilogram gold on Friday.
For younger athletes aiming to qualify for the 2028 Olympics, the Games provided an important milestone for gaining multi-sport experience, as the team performed "some great judo" throughout the event.
