A gold medal on the track at Day 14 of the Paris Olympics.
The men’s 4-by-100 metre relay team, led by Andre De Grasse took first place this afternoon.
It’s De Grasse’s seventh Olympic medal, tying him with Penny Oleksiak as the top Canadian Olympian.
Nova Scotia’s Sloan MacKenzie and Katie Vincent of Ontario got bronze in the 500-metre final in women’s canoe doubles.
Another Nova Scotian, Sarah Mitton, is out of the women’s shotput final, as she fouled her final attempt in wet, slippery conditions on the field.
She came in as the top ranked competitor.
Our women’s beach volleyball duo will play the gold medal match late this afternoon.
Canada has 23 medals, including seven gold.
