"I remember watching the 2016 Olympics and just being inspired everyone on Team Canada," McIntosh said after winning her third gold medal of the Games, in the 200-metre individual medley. Eleanor Harvey won Canada's first fencing medal, earning bronze in the women's individual foil, while Philip Kim became the first B-Boy to win gold in that sport's Olympic debut.
