Michael Woods came agonizingly close to opening Canada's medal account on the first full day of competition at Tokyo2020.
The Ottawa cyclist finished fifth in a thrilling men's road race Saturday at Fuji International Speedway on a day that also saw Canadian athletes take to the diamond, the court and the beach.
Woods finished the race in good company as part of a group finishing one minute seven seconds behind Carapaz. Wout van Aert of Belgium and Tadej Pogacar of Slovenia, a pair of cycling heavyweights, took silver and bronze respectively. Decorated Dutch rider Bauke Mollema was fourth. The women's softball team bounced back from a loss to the top-ranked U.S. squad with a 7-1 drubbing of Australia.
