5 weeks ago Kamloops trended, 3 weeks ago Cowesses... Canada, your true colors are showing... Penelakut never trended... Now we are searching Thunderchild residential school near Battlefords, SK. Don't tell me collective amnesia is already settling in. #BringOurChildrenHome

AIBA Board of Directors has voted in a fundamental change to the sport by amending the weight classes for youth and elite athletes at all AIBA competitions. Men’s weight categories will increase from 10 to 13, whilst women’s will rise from 10 to 12.

Please tell me the right thing is about to happen. This is when some political clout could go a long way. Time to smash through the ancients and clear the ring. Cheering for Team @MandyBujold !! @ /CC @MichaelChongMP

A story that is not being told far enough of the IOC denying a female athlete for being a mother. Talk about Old White Guys ruling women's bodies. theglobeandmail.com/sports/o…

Mandy Bujold’s chances to compete at Tokyo Olympics face long odds after IOC ruling

Two years ago, Mandy Bujold took a break from boxing to start a family. Now, because of that pause and the COVID-19 pandemic, the 11 time National champion may not get her chance at the Tokyo Olympics

Corey is a rarity in the sport of #boxing. Has called fights for all the major networks and platforms and has extensive knowledge. Knows every fighter inside and out. Listen to his killer commentary today on #FITE!

She chose to start a family in 2018 and missed some tournaments that the IOC, because of the pandemic, would later decide that is how they will qualify female fighters for Olympic status. @MandyBujold was ranked No. 2 in the America’s before her pregnancy…

I understand that the IOC is also reacting to an unprecedented pandemic situation, and they needed to come up with some method of qualifying athletes, but it shouldn’t be so rigid that a top prospect cannot be considered, or exempted, simply because she chose to start a family.

In 2020, qualifying events were cancelled around the world. Pregnancy is not an injury, & should not be treated as one. ⁦@MandyBujold⁩ should be allowed to compete. Women athletes will continue having babies, & the I.O.C needs a rule in place now. nytimes.com/2021/05/09/sport…

Olympic organizers changed how boxers from the Americas would qualify for Tokyo because of the pandemic. Now one of the best Canadians is on the outside looking in.

Tokyo hopeful @MandyBujold is fighting the same fight @serenawilliams did when she returned to competition after being pregnant Should qualification exceptions be made for athletes who give birth? Watch our full interview with @MandyBujold here: cbc.ca/player/play/189358957…

Timely question. @MandyBujold challenging new Tokyo qualifying rules due to COVID. Arbitrary ranking dates include her mat leave. R/t to say no to discriminating against women who choose to have kids. 🇨🇦 @Olympics @wick_22 @BoxingOntario @boxing_canada
