Canadian boxer Tammara Thibeault has her sights set on one objective: gold. The 24-year-old athlete from Saint-Georges, Quebec is currently in Paris, France competing in the European Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
Thibeault, who competes in the middleweight division, is determined to secure her spot in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. She has been training tirelessly for this moment, and her hard work has paid off as she has already secured a bronze medal in the 2019 Pan American Games.
But Thibeault is not satisfied with just a bronze. She wants to bring home the gold for Canada. In an interview with CTV News, she expressed her determination, saying, “I’m going for gold. That’s the only thing on my mind.”
The road to the Olympics has not been easy for Thibeault. Due to the pandemic, she had to put her training on hold and adapt to virtual training sessions. But she didn’t let that stop her. Thibeault continued to push herself and stay focused on her goal.
Her hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed. Thibeault’s coach, Daniel Trepanier, has praised her for her determination and resilience. He believes that she has what it takes to bring home the gold in Tokyo.
Thibeault’s first match in the European Olympic Qualifying Tournament will be against Russian boxer Liudmila Vorontsova on June 4th. She is confident in her abilities and is ready to give it her all in the ring.
As a rising star in the world of boxing, Thibeault has already made a name for herself. She is a two-time Canadian national champion and a silver medalist in the 2018 Commonwealth Games. But for Thibeault, the ultimate goal is to represent her country on the Olympic stage and bring home the gold.
The Canadian boxer’s journey to the Olympics is a testament to her determination and perseverance. She is a true inspiration to aspiring athletes and a source of pride for her home country. As she competes in Paris, all eyes will be on Thibeault as she fights for her chance at Olympic glory.
