Khyber Barnett was one of many Canadians recently competing in Las Vegas but one of few to win a medal in all events entered. Barnett made it to the podium 4 times while competing at the North American Cup, the Junior International Cup, and the US Open. Including the North American Cup and the Team Kata, Barnett did a total of 16 katas at full tilt. He slept well when he got home.
Barnett’s medals inlcude:
North American Cup (Kata 16/17) – SILVER
Jr International Cup (Kata 16) – GOLD
USA Open ( Kata 16/17) – BRONZE
USA Open ( Team Kata 14-17 with Amr Fahmy and Thanu Kumar) – GOLD
The same American athlete who beat Khyber for Gold on split flags at the North American Cup put him into repacharge with split flags at the USA Open. Khyber is determined to do all the preparation so that he wins that extra flag (or better yet all of them) at the Pan American Championships.
Team Kata GOLD at the USA Open
