PARIS — The Maple Leaf was not raised on Day 10 of the Paris Olympics after Canadian athletes were held off the podium for the first time at the Games.
The women's 3x3 basketball team had given hope that Canada would stretch its opening medal streak to a record 10 days when it led the United States halfway through its bronze-medal game.
Andre De Grasse began his defence of his Olympic 200-metre title, qualifying for the semifinals by finishing second in his heat behind 100-metre champion Noah Lyles of the United States. The Canadian squad was making its Olympic debut after not qualifying when the sport made its debut three years ago.
“I’m feeling OK. It’s good to be back, running the 200m after last night ," De Grasse said."I’ve got a day off now, and get ready for the semifinals. China's Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi topped the scoreboard, with 421.05 and 403.05 respectively, with Britain's Andrea Spendolini Sirieix coming in third with 367.00.
At Eiffel Tower Stadium, Humana-Paredes and Wilkerson made the most of their lifeline in the women's beach volleyball tournament with a 2-0 win over Americans Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss in the Round of 16.
