Ady resides in Canada and her trainers, Arturo Maestas and Jesse Jones, live in Texas. Prior to the pandemic, Ady would fly down once a month to train. That all stopped in 2020, when the U.S./Canadian border effectively shut down. Although restrictions have loosened in the U.S. in recent months, the situation is still fairly closed in Canada, which made the trip to Fort Worth a bit tricky. Ady and her mother flew into the States two weeks ago and underwent COVID testing. Once they return to Canada, they will have more tests and spend a two-week quarantine in a hotel. But tonight’s big win with a huge cheering section of supporters behind her made all of the logistical challenges well worth it.
