You have no idea how much you inspire so many. This has been insightful, encoraging.

[@GalJudoka]

It’s amazing that someone just go on the tatami but you have no idea what they have been through. Thank you Crista🙌🏼🙏🏻❤️

[@maartennl83]

That's an amazing story. Glad you found your way.

[@ddelegate]

Happy to see such an in-depth interview touching on mental health, rather than the usual fluff. IMHO Deguchi was robbed of the 2020 Olympic spot by Judo Canada's decision to make it purely based on the 2021 World Champs standings (rather than a head-to-head like with Abe and Maruyama). I suspect there was some politics involved to favour the "homegrown" Klimkait.

[@paultalafo3949]

I truly support your opinion about biaised selection. Some of the officials commented: "Deguchi as half canadian, was a japanese judo representative whereas Jessika was a pure Canadian judo". Then they did every thing to get it done

Crista's vibe is just beautiful. And she's right about the cats, lol

Great sportsmanship always, inside and outside the mat. Wonderful behaviour. Always respectful and polite to her opponents, Christa has a respectful and clean judo. On top, a beautiful face. I hope that you become an olympic champion in Paris!

[@e4d578]

Why does she have subtitles?

[@tantunimersin4829]

Maybe for people who are deaf

[@user-ne-trazi-me]

Someone is going to get HURT BADLY by this girl in Paris...

[@Qunyc1985]

Damn. I don't want my daughter to have these mental hang ups.

[@tantunimersin4829]

Than you or the coaches had to teach her that she must prepare herself also maybe for a loss sometimes. A person can‘t always win. Doesn’t matter if its sports or another area in life. That is so important to know for mental health.

I now have a new girl crush. 🥹
