Triple-jumping Surrey brothers tops in Canada, off to Junior PanAms

Surrey-Born brothers Praise, 21, and Divine, 20, secured positions on Team Canada to participate in the triple jump event at the upcoming Junior Pan Am Games scheduled for 2025 in Asunción, Paraguay.
Their nomination on May 6 followed strong collegiate careers and Divine’s 15.25-metre bronze at the 2023 Pan American U20 Championships.
Both study and train at U.S. Universities—Praise at Purdue and Divine at Milwaukee—and push each other while representing a small but talented 20-member Canadian athletics team.
Head coach Carmyn James described them as a 'small but highly talented team of athletes' with the brothers exuding 'positive energy,' aiming for gold in this U23 international multi-sport event held from August 9-23.
Their involvement offers crucial preparation for upcoming Olympic competitions, with Praise chosen for Athletics Canada’s CAPP initiative and both brothers recognized as strong prospects for future Olympic teams.
