\"Leirick<\/a>Leirick Chung souhaite repr\u00e9senter le Canada depuis qu\u2019il s\u2019est joint \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9quipe provinciale de Karate Ontario lorsqu\u2019il \u00e9tait \u00e2g\u00e9 de 14\u00a0ans. Il a su acqu\u00e9rir encore plus d\u2019assurance apr\u00e8s \u00eatre mont\u00e9 sur le podium \u00e0 son premier tournoi d\u2019importance, quand il a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille de bronze \u00e0 son premier championnat \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle nationale. Il s\u2019est d\u00e9marqu\u00e9 dans sa carri\u00e8re en 2007 quand il a obtenu le titre aux Jeux panam\u00e9ricains junior. En 2008, Leirick a gagn\u00e9 le prix du grand champion aux Championnats nationaux apr\u00e8s avoir r\u00e9colt\u00e9 quatre m\u00e9dailles d\u2019or. Il s\u2019agissait alors de sa premi\u00e8re participation dans la division senior. Il a ensuite remport\u00e9 un autre titre national senior en 2015.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00c0 PROPOS DE L\u2019ATHL\u00c8TE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Famille\u00a0:<\/strong> Ses parents se nomment Nelson et Audrey Chung. Sa m\u00e8re est son idole en raison de son \u00e9thique du travail, ce qui le motive \u00e0 d\u00e9ployer des efforts \u00e0 110\u00a0% durant ses s\u00e9ances d\u2019entra\u00eenement. Leivin, son fr\u00e8re jumeau, est \u00e9galement membre de l\u2019\u00e9quipe nationale de Karat\u00e9 Canada. D\u00e9buts\u00a0: <\/strong>Il a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 pratiquer le karat\u00e9 \u00e0 6\u00a0ans. Enfant, il \u00e9tait souvent malade et faible, donc les arts martiaux constituaient pour lui une fa\u00e7on de faire de l\u2019exercice et de devenir plus fort. Il aimait aussi les films de Bruce Lee et de Jackie Chan, et la rapidit\u00e9 et la pr\u00e9cision avec lesquelles ils donnaient des coups de poing et de pied \u00e9taient pour lui une source d\u2019inspiration. Autres int\u00e9r\u00eats\u00a0:<\/strong> Il obtiendra sa ma\u00eetrise \u00e8s sciences en physioth\u00e9rapie de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Queen\u2019s en novembre 2015. Il aime lire des livres et des articles au sujet de l\u2019activit\u00e9 physique, de programmes d\u2019exercice, d\u2019entra\u00eenement et de physioth\u00e9rapie. Il aime jouer au basket-ball et au soccer. Il est affili\u00e9 \u00e0 la fondation SickKids, la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne du cancer et Epilepsy Toronto parce qu\u2019il croit que tout athl\u00e8te professionnel a la responsabilit\u00e9 de s\u2019engager envers sa communaut\u00e9. De tout et de rien\u00a0:<\/strong> Sa devise\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0N\u2019abandonnez pas. Souffrez maintenant et soyez champion jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la fin de vos jours.\u00a0\u00bb Il se donne toujours des coups sur la poitrine avec le poing avant un match. On le surnomme Slick Rick.<\/p>\n
