A seven-year-old Richmond athlete and resident took home two gold medals at a recent martial arts competition on Saturday.
Richmond Martial Arts and Josiah Kicks Academy athlete Logan Minshall took part in the annual Western Canadian Martial Arts Championships, which was held at Simon Fraser University this year.
Minshall won gold in both the WKU continuous kick light division, a continuous kickboxing competition, and the sport karate point division, a mix of karate and taekwondo competition.
The McKay elementary student won his first fight in the kickboxing division taking him straight to the finals where he also won first place.
In the sport karate point category, Minshall won 3-1 against Ramsey Farag in the first round and proceeded to the next fight against fellow academy athlete Samuel Monroy winning 3-0.
During the final of the double-elimination competition, Minshall was once again up against Farag, but lost 4-3 which spurred another match for the gold medal and eventually winning 5-1.
