Mary Alexandra "Alex" Bruce (born May 27, 1990) is a Canadian female badminton player from Toronto, Ontario. She will compete at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the Women's doubles event with partner Michelle Li.
Early career
Bruce played for the University of Western Ontario, where she was named OUA Female Rookie of the Year in 2008. At the 2009 Canadian university and college national championships, she won two gold medals in doubles play, and a silver medal in women's singles.[1] At the 2010 Yonex National Championships, she and Martin Giuffre won the U23 Mixed Doubles title. Bruce also won bronze in Ladies' Singles, and silver in Ladies' Doubles with future Olympic partner Michelle Li.[2]
2012 Olympics
At the 2012 Summer Olympics, Bruce and Li finished last in the round-robin portion, losing all three of their matches.[3] However, the top two teams in the group were disqualified for attempting to intentionally lose matches so they would have an easier match-up in the quarterfinals.[4] The duo was advanced to their quarterfinals, where they defeated Australia's Leanne Choo and Renuga Veeran. Bruce and Li finished in forth place, the best Canadian finish in badminton at the Olympic Games.[3]
