BANGKOK — Canadian boxer Mckenzie Wright earned a 5-0 decision over Serbia's Nina Radovanovic on Saturday to move within one win of punching her ticket to Paris in a last-ditch Olympic qualifier.
Wright lost the first round on three of the five judges' cards but came on strong in the final two rounds, using effective movement and counter-punching to frustrate the Serb. The Bangkok qualifier, which runs through Monday, determines the final 51 quota places for the Paris Games this summer. Competitors also need to crack the top four in Bangkok to get to Paris. That measuring stick can change, however, given host France is guaranteed a maximum of six quota places so a country can claim a spot in a weight class even if it doesn't qualify a fighter.
Marie Alahmadieh didn't make it to her first bout due to"unforeseen health-related issues," according to Boxing Canada. Victor Tremblay failed to make weight for his first fight in the 57-kilogram bracket.
