Ariane Fortin

Ariane Fortin (born November 20, 1984) is a Canadian southpaw amateur boxer who won a silver medal in the middleweight category at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. In order to compete at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, as well as the World Championship in 2014, Ariane ran a successful crowdfunding campaign on MAKEACHAMP.
Fortin took up boxing in 2004, and after failing to qualify to the 2012 Summer Olympics decided to move to another country with less rivalry in boxing. She chose Lebanon and started learning Arabic, but reconsidered after intervention from the International Amateur Boxing Association. Her attempts to qualify for the 2012 Olympics were presented in the 2013 Canadian documentary Last Women Standing.
In July 2016, she was officially named to Canada's Olympic team. At the Olympics she was eliminated in the first bout.
