From Penny Oleksiak taking her place among Canada's most decorated Summer Olympians to athletes being able to -- briefly -- show their faces on the podium, here are five things to know from Sunday at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
Canada's women swimmers proved to be a revelation at the 2016 Rio Olympics, winning six medals and arguably becoming Canada's face of the Games. They continued in Tokyo where they left off in Rio, winning a silver in the women's 4x100 freestyle relay. They won bronze in the event in Rio, and both times Penny Oleksiak powered Canada to victory on the anchor leg.
