Pamela Brind'Amour (born January 12, 1993) is a Canadian fencer in the sabre discipline.[1] Brind'Amour has won multiple medals at the Pan American level.

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]
