While Valois-Fortier did not place again in the 2016 or the 2020 Olympics, he won silver at the 2014 World Judo Championships and bronze in 2015 and 2019, making him Canada's second-most competitively successful judoka at the highest levels after Gill. Other Canadians have also had recent success at the highest levels. Christa Deguchi, who was born and resides in Japan but has Canadian citizenship through her father, joined the Canadian team in 2017 and won bronze in 2018 and gold in 2019 at the World Judo Championships, making her the first Canadian World Champion. Priscilla Gagné won bronze at the 2018 IBSA World Judo Championships and silver at the 2019 IBSA World Games, eight Canadians won medals at the Junior (under 21) or Cadet (under 18) World Judo Championships, and Jessica Klimkait won gold at the 2021 World Judo Championships in the -57 kg category, the same as her domestic rival Deguchi.
