“It felt great for me in the Youth Olympic Games in Argentina, I am so happy after the gold medal.
I enjoyed the atmosphere in Buenos Aires, it was amazing experience to make the finals in the Youth Olympic Games.
My tactics in the final bout were to keep my opponent long and stick to the basics and just make use of my advantages of being taller and having longer arms.
The Youth Olympic Games was real eye opener and it was the first multisport event I have been attended and I enjoyed every second of it.
I am planning a short break after this superb title because for me it was a very busy year with plenty of events. Nothing special I will just stay at home and enjoy being my family.
I would like to defend my English national title and won my second gold medal in the EUBC European Confederation Women’s Youth Boxing Championships in 2019,” said Caroline Dubois after the Youth Olympic Games.
