Penny Oleksiak has finished fourth in the women's 100-metre freestyle at the Tokyo Olympics.
Oleksiak finished in 52.59 seconds, just seven hundredths of a second behind bronze-medal winner Cate Campbell of Australia.
Another Aussie, Emma McKeon, won gold with an Olympic record of 51.96 seconds, while Hong Kong's Siobhan Haughey took silver. It's a disappointing finish for Oleksiak, who took gold in the 100m freestyle at the Rio Games in 2016. She had also been looking for her third medal in Tokyo and seventh of her career, which would make her Canada's most decorated Olympian.
