Christa Deguchi (出口 クリスタ Deguchi Christa, born October 29, 1995) is a Canadian judoka.[1]

Switch to representing Canada

In 2017, Deguchi switched to representing Canada from where she was born, Japan. Deguchi's dad is from Canada and this allowed her to compete for the country. In 2012, Deguchi was approached to represent Canada, before she competed for Japan but she refused. Realizing her best bet to make the Olympics would be competing for Canada, Deguchi eventually agreed to represent Canada.[2][3]

Career

She participated at the 2018 World Judo Championships, winning a bronze medal. By winning the bronze medal, she became the first female judoka representing Canada to win a World Judo Championships medal.[4][5] She won her first gold medal in the 2019 world championship
