Inès Boubakri (Arabic: إيناس بوبكري; born 28 December 1988) is a Tunisian foil fencer.[2][1] She is a two-time Olympian, and a member of Association sportive de Bourg-la-Reine in France, under head coach Yann Detienne.[1]
Career
Boubakri represented Tunisia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed in the women's individual foil event. She lost the first preliminary round match to Chinese-born Canadian fencer and former Olympic gold medalist Jujie Luan, with a score of 9–13.[3]
At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Boubakri qualified for the second time in the women's individual foil event. Unlike her previous Olympics, she excelled through the preliminary rounds by defeating United States' Nicole Ross, and France's Astrid Guyart.[4] Boubakri reached the quarterfinal match of this event, where she was defeated by Italian fencer and three-time Olympic champion Valentina Vezzali, with a "sudden death" score of 7–8.[5][6]
She won a bronze medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, becoming the first Tunisian fencer ever to win an Olympic medal.
