2026 Pan American Masters Championships – Small Team – Strong Results

Team Canada

Although we did not have a large group of Canadian athletes at the Pan American Masters Championships in El Salvador, our members performed very well.

 

Gold medals were awarded to Sylvie Guénette, Cybèle Lanthier, Yael Barak, Yves Carignan, André Boutin, Tim McAuliffe, Tin Ly, and Chris Bohonis.  Silver Medals were awarded to Debra Henry, Aude Bernard, Joanie Ouellet, Michel Piétracupa, Behzad Allahyari, and Vincent Piétracupa.  Thirteen of the sixteen athletes are members of FHQ. André planned well and missed none of his attempts.  Sylvie and Yves have applied for Canadian Masters Records and verification looks very promising.

 

WCHM members’ results can be found in the Results section of the WCHM website.

 

Attached is an image of Yves Carignan, dispelling the myth that having a hip replacement eliminates the possibility of a strong return to the competition platform.  Some other images of our team include André Boutin, Tin Ly, Yael Barak, Debra Henry and Cybèle Lanthier.
