Global News published this video item, entitled “Boxing the patriarchy: Canadian athlete’s battle for Olympic bid post-pregnancy” – below is their description.
Canadian boxing champion Mandy Bujold is fighting to compete at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
Mike Drolet explains why Bujold is being denied the opportunity and how she’s now taking the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to court to prove women don’t have to choose between family and career.
The toughest battle of Canadian Olympic boxer Mandy Bujold’s career may be actually happening outside the ring as the Kitchener, Ont. native attempts to fight the IOC to compete in the Tokyo Summer Games.
“It’s that last fight too. I want to go to Tokyo because I want that to be the final moment in my career, the end of this chapter in my life,” the 33-year-old explained. “So I think it makes it even more important.”
