2004 Summer Olympics

He represented his native country at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, where he was eliminated by technical knockout in the first round by Ruslan Khairov of Azerbaijan.

Trupish qualified for the Athens Games as a lucky semifinal loser in the second tournament in Tijuana, Mexico. He took the place of Juan McPherson (USA), finalist from the 2003 Pan American Games. However his quota was dropped by the USA Boxing Association due to unsuccessful presentation at the USA Olympic trials. Winner of those trials Vanes Martirosyan qualified for the Qualifying Tournament in Tijuana.

2008 Summer Olympics

Trupish was the only Canadian boxer (in any weight class) to qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

The embarrassment of seeing their only fighter soundly defeated in the first round is expected to bring attention to the need for Canada to provide better funding and training to their athletes.
