Canada looks to set new Olympic medal record after silver medal win in beach volleyball tied the record of 24 medals set in Tokyo
Canada will head into the final two days of competition of the Paris Olympics with a chance to make history.
That tied the number Canada won three years ago in Tokyo, which set a record for a non-boycotted Games. Canada’s official record of 44 medals, including 10 gold, was set at the 1984 Los Angeles Games, which were boycotted by the Soviet Union and 14 other Eastern Bloc countries.
