TORONTO — Gold medallist Maude Charron, of Rimouski, Que., will lead Canada's two-person weightlifting team at the Paris Olympics.
It was just the second-ever Olympic gold medal won by a Canadian weightlifter, following Christine Girard, of Rouyn-Noranda, Que., who won 63 kg gold at the 2012 London Games. “I’m thrilled to represent Canada once more at these Olympic Games,” said Charron, who won 59 kg silver at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile. “I’m looking forward to enjoying every moment to the fullest with my coaches, my parents and my friends. We are only two on the team to represent our sport and our country and we will do our very best to make Canadians proud.”
