Career

edit

Brind'Amour's first major international result came in 2013, when he won the gold medal at the Pan American Junior Fencing Championships in Ponce, Puerto Rico in the individual foil event.[1] Brind'Amour would later switch to the sabre discipline as she felt her changes of qualifying for the Olympics in the foil discipline were low.[2] In 2022, finished 52nd at a World Cup stop in Algeria.[3] Brind'Amour was officially named to Canada's 2024 Olympic team in April 2024.[4][5][6]

Pan American Games

edit

Brind'Amour has competed at three Pan American Games.[1] Brind'Amour's first appearance came at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto.[7] Four years later, at the 2019 Pan American Games, Brind'Amour was part of the bronze medal-winning sabre team.[1] At the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile, Brind'Amour was part of the silver winning sabre team.[1]
