This marks Kylie Masse’s first medal won at the Paris Games, Canadians Josh Liendo and Finlay Knox miss the podium in the 50-metre freestyle and 200-metre individual medley respectively
Kylie Masse , of LaSalle, Ont., competes in the women's 200-metre backstroke final at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Nanterre, France, Friday, Aug. 2, 2024.
On Friday she showed exactly how much, coming back mid-race to win bronze in the 200-metre backstroke. It was a race that saw Masse start fast, leading after the first 50 metres. However going into the last length of the pool, she was in fourth. But Masse, known for rebounding after a tough race, a tough training session, or even a tough lap, came charging back to edge out American Phoebe Bacon for the bronze medal
But after just missing the podium in the 100-metre backstroke, Masse – usually pleasant and never showing stress – admitted the result bothered her.Suffice to say, the bronze on Friday made that previous race a distant memory.
