It's Vincent's second Olympic bronze in the event after finishing third with three years ago in Tokyo
PARIS — Katie Vincent made a compelling case for another generation of Canadian canoeists to follow in her footsteps.
"For our sport, the Olympics is the only time we’re on TV. So to know that there are kids at home who might be seeing the sport for the first time and may say to their parents, 'Hey, where’s the nearest canoeing club?' — it’s pretty special to be able to introduce people to our sport," Vincent said. Canada was guaranteed at least one more medal Friday when the Toronto duo of Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson took on Brazilian top seeds Ana Ramos and Duda Lisboa in the women's beach volleyball final.
In the 500m sprint canoe, the Canadians lost the silver medal to the Ukrainians in a photo finish and posted a time of one minute 54.36 seconds. Liudmyla Luzan and Anastasiia Rybachok had a late burst to take silver with 1:54.30. In women's golf, Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., had an impressive third round to give herself an outside shot of a medal. Henderson shot 5-under Friday to give her a combined score of 2-under heading into Saturday's final round.
