(Reuters) - Canadian boxer Mandy Bujold said on Wednesday that her dream to compete in the Tokyo Olympics was "intact" after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled that qualification criteria must accommodate women who were pregnant or had given birth. The court ruled that the qualification criteria must include an accommodation for women who were pregnant or postpartum during the qualification period," Bujold said in a statement. She added: "It was one of the biggest fights of my career, but also the fight with the most meaning. I was standing up for what I believe is right and for the dream I had worked so hard for. What matters is the recurring pattern of gender inequality in sport," said Bujold.
