PARIS — O Canada has played at the Paralympic Games in Paris for the first time.
Nicholas Bennett won Canada's first gold medal of the Paralympic Games on Monday, finishing atop the podium in the men's 100-metre breaststroke for his second medal in Paris.
Jake Michel of Australia took silver in 1:04.27. Naohide Yamaguchi of Japan was the bronze medallist in 1:04.94. Elsewhere, Patrick Anderson scored a team-high 17 points, and Colin Higgins and Reed De’Aeth each scored 14 as Canada wrapped up group play with a convincing 68-52 victory over Germany in men's wheelchair basketball.“We couldn't have drawn that up any better just getting contributions from one through 12, and big breakout game from Reed,” said Anderson, who added seven rebounds and two assists.
