In an unusual occurence, FLOQ president Jean-François Daviau would perform in a rare feat by competing at the Veteran World Championships, which was held in Amman Jordan from October 6th to the 11th. Jean François would be competing in the 88 kg Veteran D category for Canada where his first match would be against Mohammed Abdullah M Asiri of Saudi Arabia in the Qualification Round. Jean François would get a four point lead before winning the match by Pin where he would face Bayarmagnai Norjin of Mongolia.
Despite starting starting off strong, Jean-François would lose by Pin (8-0), but would move on to the Bronze Medal Final, where unfortunately, he would have to Forfeit due to injury.
Despite this, Jean-François would a strong tournament and acquit himself well. Congratulations Jean-François on your performance at the Veteran World Championships!
