Congratulations to Jasmit Phulka for signing with the Iowa Cyclone Regional Training Centre!
"AMES, Iowa — The Cyclone Regional Training Center has picked up a big commitment. Kevin Dresser announced Monday that Canadian Olympic Team Member, Jasmit Phulka, will be joining up with the C-RTC as a resident athlete. “We are very excited to add Jasmit to the Cyclone RTC,” Dresser said. “He comes to us as the number one guy in his country at 74 kg. He brings a reputation as a tireless worker and a guy who is only getting better. I know he will make all of those around him better. He will join us before the first of the year.” “The Cyclone Regional Training Center is a perfect fit for me,” Phulka said. “I get great training partners and an awesome coaching staff that will get me to the next level. I cannot wait to book my ticket to Tokyo and represent the C-RTC at the 2021 Olympics.” Phulka has cemented himself as a true contender on the world stage at 74 kg, regarded by many as the toughest weight class in all of wrestling at the moment. Most recently, Phulka took bronze at the 2020 and 2019 Pan American Games. 2018 proved to be a springboard for Phulka’s Senior Level career. Already a Canadian Cadet and Junior World Team member, Phulka won the City of Sassari Tournament, took third at the Mongolia Open and then finished runner-up at the Grand Prix of Spain. All three results came within a six-week span. Phulka has represented the Canadian World Team over the past three years at 74 and 79 kg. He will be looking to secure the Canadians a spot at 74 kg in the 2021 Olympics at the World Last Chance Qualifier in April."

The new public health orders are in effect from Saturday night at 10 p.m. to Monday Nov. 23 at noon. The new orders focus on social gatherings, travel, indoor group exercises and workplaces. Residents of the two affected health regions are being told not to engage in social interactions outside their immediate households, with the exception of weddings and funerals within conditions. Dr. Henry strongly recommended that travel in and out of the Fraser Health region and Vancouver Coastal Health region be limited to essential travel only. Indoor group fitness ordered to close. Businesses and recreation centres have been ordered to stop holding indoor group physical activities for two weeks.
