Masse secures Canada’s twelfth Olympic medal, fourth silver
Canada’s Kylie Masse races in the women’s 200m backstroke at the Tokyo Olympics on Saturday, at Tokyo Aquatics Centre. She won the silver medal. July 31, 2021Canadian backstroke specialist Kylie Masse claimed her second silver medal in the Tokyo Olympic pool on Saturday, once again making it exciting at the wall with rival Kaylee McKeown of Australia.
The ending was very similar to the race between McKeown and Masse just a few days ago when the 25-year-old Canadian took the silver medal in the 100-metre backstroke. The native of LaSalle, Ont., was out-touched at the wall by McKeown in that one, too, and the Aussie set an Olympic record.It’s been a passion push for McKeown in Tokyo, because the Australian lost her father Sholto in 2020 and vowed she would be at her finest at these Games in his memory.
It was the fifth medal in Tokyo for the Canadian swim team, and the 12th for Canada at these Games, all from women.
