Deux médailles pour Boxe Canada au Colorado

Two medals for Boxing Canada in Colorado


By Vincent Morin


Boxe Canada had two athletes in action at the 2024 USA Boxing Invitational International Tournament, held April 15-20 in Puebo, Colorado. Tammara Thibeault won gold in the women's 75 kg category, while Scarlett Delgado took silver in the women's 54 kg category.


Tammara Thibeault
Champion of the Pan-American Games and qualified for the Paris Olympic Games following her precious gold medal won in Chile, Thibeault began this American international competition with a unanimous decision victory (5-0) over Brazil's Viviane Pereira.


In the quarter-finals, she defeated Tokyo Games silver medallist Qian Li of China by unanimous decision (5-0), before dominating American Naomi Graham, also by unanimous decision (5-0), in the semi-finals. In the final, the Unified representative faced another Olympian, Australia's Caitlin Parker. The latter also lost by unanimous decision (5-0) to Thibeault.


In four duels, the Shawinigan left-hander didn't lose on any of the judges' cards against strong rivals. The tournament served as preparation for the Paris Games, to be held from July 27 to August 10.

Scarlett Delgado

Du côté de l’Ontarienne Scarlett Delgado, elle a débuté le tournoi en force avec un gain par décision unanime (5-0) sur l’Allemande Sarah Meryem Binbir, avant d’enregistrer un autre triomphe par décision unanime (5-0) en demi-finale sur l’Américaine Kayla Gomez.

Lors de la finale, Delgado s’est avouée vaincue par décision partagée (3-1) au terme d’une intense bagarre face à la Britannique Charley Davison.

La boxeuse canadienne de 29 ans n’est pas encore parvenue à se qualifier pour les Jeux de Paris lors des deux premiers tournois de qualifications, soit aux Jeux Panaméricains et lors du premier tournoi mondial de qualifications olympiques, tenu en mars en Italie.

Elle aura une dernière chance lors du deuxième tournoi mondial de qualification, du 23 mai au 3 juin à Bangkok, en Thaïlande.

Boxe Canada n’a actuellement que deux boxeurs qualifiés pour Paris avec Tammara Thibeault (75 kg femmes) et Wyatt Sanford (63.5 kg hommes).
