Hiro's Judo Club

What an amazing year for Emiliya Aliyeva. She won two gold medals at the Ontario Open, a gold and a silver at the Quebec Open, a gold and silver medal at the Edmonton International, a gold and silver at the Pacific International and two bronze medals at the Cadet and Junior Pan Am Championships in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Finally, she capped off the season with three gold medals (U18 70kg, U21 -78kg, and Senior -78kg) at the 2026 Open Nationals Judo Championships in Calgary! Truly an outstanding performance!

Congratulations, Emiliya!!
