TORONTO — Gold medallist Maude Charron, of Rimouski, Que., will lead Canada’s two-person weightlifting team at the Paris Olympics.

Charron, who won weightlifting gold at the Tokyo Games in 2021, will compete in the women’s 59-kilogram event in Paris. In Tokyo, she lifted 236 kilograms in the 64 kg category, four more than the silver medallist.

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.
