Canadian athletes were held off the podium for the first time at the Paris Olympic Games on Monday.
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 medal drought isn't expected to last long. Camryn Rogers of Richmond, B.C., is the heavy favourite to win gold in the women's hammer throw on Tuesday. And several Canadian athletes set themselves up for potential medals down the road with strong performances Monday. The team lost a heartbreaking semifinal 16-15 to Germany, which scored the winning point in the last second. They then seemed to be in control of their bronze medal match, before turnovers and fouls sent them to a 16-13 loss to the Americans, who won gold at the Toyko Olympics.
But he has done far better in the 200. He closed last season with his fourth-best time ever with 19.76 seconds to win the Diamond League title in September. McKay, of Calgary, finished seventh out of 18 in the semifinal on Monday after scoring a total of 308.85 over five dives. Ottawa's Kate Miller was eliminated in the preliminary round after coming in 20th — two spots below the cutoff — with a score of 266.30.
