In a disappointing turn for Moroccan hopes, boxer Khadija El Mardi bowed out of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games this Sunday morning after losing to Australian Caitlin Parker in the quarter-finals of the 75kg weight category.
The judging panel confirmed the victory of the Australian boxer, who holds the title of World Championship runner-up, after she dominated all three rounds of the match. With this result, El Mardi’s participation in the current Olympic Games in Paris comes to an end.
Despite the strong performance El Mardi displayed throughout her journey in the tournament, Parker’s experience and strength proved decisive in this encounter. This outcome is a blow to Morocco’s aspirations of securing a medal in boxing at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Nevertheless, El Mardi’s advancement to the quarter-finals is considered an achievement for Moroccan sports in this Olympic Games.
El Mardi is expected to return to Morocco to evaluate her performance and prepare for upcoming championships, with hopes of achieving better results in the future.
Boxing competitions continue at the Paris Olympics, with Parker now looking to secure a place in the final and a chance to win the gold medal.
This early exit highlights the competitive nature of Olympic boxing and the challenges faced by athletes on the world stage. It also underscores the progress of Moroccan boxing, with El Mardi’s quarter-final appearance marking a significant milestone for the nation in this sport at the Olympic level.
