Team Canada had a record-breaking run at the Paris Olympics. Canada won 27 medals – nine gold, seven silver and 11 bronze – more than any Summer Olympics since the boycott-plagued 1984 Games 40 years ago in Los Angeles. Canada recorded 49 top five finishes.
By comparison, Canada won 24 medals, including seven gold, at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, and 22 medals, including four gold, at the 2016 Rio Summer Games.
Summer McIntosh, a swimming phenom who became the first Canadian to win three gold medals at a single Olympics, and Ethan Katzberg, the country’s first hammer throw champion, were chosen as flagbearers at the closing ceremonies on Sunday.
