At just 16 years old, Olivia Bahsous already boasts an impressive record. A three-time world champion in Muay Thai, the young Canadian athlete of Palestinian origin also uses her fame to spread a message: there is no single way to be a woman, nor is there only one way to succeed.<\/p>\n
It was on the occasion of International Women's Day (March 8) that Olivia Bahsous posted a noteworthy message on Instagram. The young athlete wrote that in every family tree, there is a girl who decided that the rules no longer applied to her.<\/p>\n
A simple yet powerful phrase that perfectly sums up her journey. In a sport still largely dominated by men, Olivia Bahsous made her mark at a very young age by refusing to conform. Her message isn't just about sport. It also evokes the idea of taking one's place, pursuing one's ambitions, and embracing one's individuality, even when it challenges expectations or stereotypes.<\/p>\n
While many are still discovering their path in adolescence, Olivia Bahsous is already accumulating international titles. Before even turning 16, she became a three-time world champion in Muay Thai, competing in three different weight categories. In addition, she has won several gold medals at IFMA competitions, the International Muay Thai Federation.<\/p>\n
In 2023, she notably represented Canada at the IFMA World Games held in Turkey. This performance was all the more impressive considering she already had over thirty fights under her belt at only 16 years old. <\/p>\n
