Sylvia Hausot (2012)

Judo Athlete

As a judo athlete, Sylvia Hausot went to the top of Canada. 

Hausot's most successful year on the mat came in 2005 when she won the gold medal in the 78-kilogram division at the senior national championships in St. John’s, Newfoundland. The gold medal, which she claimed as a member of the North Capital Judo Club, was the first won by a B.C. senior judo athlete in six years.

Some of Hausot’s other accomplishments in 2005 included competing internationally. She placed second at the Finnish Open and was fifth at the U.S. Open in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She also attended training camps in Sweden and at the U.S. Olympic training centre. It was also in 2005 that Hausot earned her black belt in judo.

In 2005 and 2006, Hausot fought to gold at the Ontario Open. 

In 2007, she was back at the Canadian senior nationals and battled to a bronze medal in Trois-Rivieres, Que. Her medal came after she missed most of the 2006 season because of a knee injury. After the comeback bronze, she turned her attention to coaching full-time at North Capital, a club started by her father, Christian, in 2004.

Earlier in her career, Hausot captured gold at the 2004 Ontario Open. That taste of national success came after a seven-year hiatus from judo. Her break from the sport started after the 1998 season. That year, she had won double gold at the B.C. Games in Campbell River and gold at the U.S. junior nationals. As well, she competed at the Canadian senior national championships in Abbotsford as a junior competitor and took fifth place.
