🇨🇦 Andre De Grasse took a step toward his goal of winning a second Olympic medal at Tokyo2020 as the country's men's volleyball and women's water polo teams suffered defeats.
De Grasse and Aaron Brown both secured their spots in the men's 200-metre semifinals at the Tokyo Olympics.
Kyra Constantine of Toronto clinched a spot in the women's 400 semifinals. Constantine was fifth in her heat, but her time of 51.69 was fast enough to advance. But while the result is the same on paper, Canada's Nicholas Hoag says the team has evolved since the loss in Rio. The Canadians, in their first Olympics since 2004, had one win and three losses in the preliminary round.
