Bujold became pregnant and gave birth during that time without any qualification points. Prior to this, she has been ranked in the top four.

“I urge you to reconsider the decision to exclude Mandy Buyold in the name of fairness and in the light of our shared gender equality, human rights, and ambition to promote the participation of women and girls in sports.” Campaign, by CBC Sports acquired.

Two weeks after the International Olympic Committee rejected the 33-year-old Kitchener (ON) fighter from Ontario’s request to qualify for the competition.

Gilbert wrote to Bach that the decision of the International Olympic Committee to consider only the ranking of the three events as the Tokyo Olympic qualifiers represented a “huge systemic failure.”

“Deciding to become a mother in 2018 should not punish Ms. Bouchard for having the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games according to the designated time period retrospectively determined by the International Olympic Committee. Ms. Bouchard became pregnant and then became pregnant. Leaving to take care of her new child,” Gil Peter wrote.

CBC Sports asked the International Olympic Committee for comments, but has not yet received a response.

Bujold and her legal team are now facing tight deadlines, but they have not given up. Their next steps include going to the Sports Arbitration Court-this is the last effort to get Bujold to participate in the Olympics.

On Tuesday, the Canadian Olympic Committee also pledged to support Boujold.

Chief Executive David Shoemaker said: “We are working closely with Mandy and his team to appeal to the Sports Arbitration Court on Mandy’s qualifications in Tokyo, and hope She can participate in the Olympics.”

Bujold told CBC Sports that she will retire after these Olympics, which is what she hopes to be on the Olympic podium before withdrawing from the games. She said that she had read the letter and thanked the Canadian government for its support.

Bujold told CBC Sports: “He made a lot of very good points, and I am grateful to him for taking the time to express his support.”

Guilbeault said in the letter that Bujold was excluded from the Tokyo Olympics, sending “a message to female athletes all over the world-you can be an athlete or a mother-but not both. Her case is subtle and needs to be considered. Not rigid.”

He went on to write that gender equality in sports is an important aspect of promoting women’s equality and justice in sports and society, and “how did this decision become an injustice for Ms. Bouchard.”

Gilbert wrote: “This does not reflect our government or, frankly, how the International Olympic Committee views gender equality, empowers women or encourages mothers to engage in sports.”

Moreover, from a boxing perspective, he wrote based purely on Bujold’s track record, “Without the participation of Ms. Bujold, the match held in Tokyo would not really be a world-class match.”

“She is a trailblazer, a champion, and an inspiration for many. The International Olympic Committee should work hard to ensure that every Olympic competition represents the best athletes in the world. In this case, Mandy Boujold is among them. .”
