Bouchard

Anthony Bouchard, a promising Canadian wheelchair racer, has made remarkable strides since he started competing in 2020. Born on November 4, 1992, in Quebec City, Bouchard competes in the T52 classification for wheelchair athletes. Despite his relatively short time in the sport, Bouchard quickly ascended to international competition, representing Canada at the 2023 World Para Athletics Championships. There, he achieved notable finishes, placing eighth in both the Men’s 100m and 400m T52 events​​​​​​.

Bouchard’s journey into Para athletics began after a car accident in 2011, which led him to explore wheelchair racing as a competitive outlet. His rapid progression in the sport is underscored by his achievements at the Santiago 2023 Parapan Am Games, where he won a gold medal in the Men’s 100m T52 and bronze in the Men’s 400m T52, further cementing his status as an athlete to watch. As he heads to his first Paralympic Games in Paris 2024, Bouchard aims to continue building on his success and make a strong impression on the global stage​​​​.
