SASKATOON – Erica Wiebe held Justina Di Stasio scoreless in their first match since Di Stasio was crowned world champion.

Wiebe, a 2016 Olympic Champion, defeated Di Stasio, 2018 World Champion, 3-0 in the 76 kg final at the Senior Canadian Championships in Saskatoon.

“Justina is a formidable competitor, and she’s an awesome person and awesome wrestler, so it makes me better every day,” said Wiebe. “My year before Rio was a rollercoaster, so I’m ready for whatever 2019 has.”

On the men’s side, Jarvis continued his heavyweight dominance with another Canadian title at 125 kg. He has captured titles every year since 2013.

“It hasn’t gotten easier; these kids are tough. In my mind, heavyweight is the toughest weight-class in Canada,” said Jarvis. “This nationals is a huge stepping stone, towards 2020.”
