Canadian boxer Mandy Bujold has been eliminated from the Rio Olympics after a quarter-final loss.
The 29-year-old Kitchener, Ont., fighter lost the 51-kilogram bout to Ren Cancan of China by unanimous decision.
Bujold had waited four years to step in the Olympic ring.
A 10-time national flyweight champion, she was prepared for the moment in 2012, when women's boxing made its Olympic debut. She thought she'd clinched her spot at the 2011 Pan Am Games, but the newness of the women's event led to mass confusion.
It was decided the world championships would be the qualifier, and a random draw pitted Bujold against a world silver medallist. Bujold lost by two points and was done.
Canada's one wild-card spot on the Olympic team went to Mary Spencer, who lost in the quarter-finals in London.
Bujold was Canada's last remaining boxer standing in Rio. Women's teammate Ariane Fortin lost her first bout on Sunday.
