Kylie Masse has a silver in the 200-metre backstroke to match the one she earned in the 100-metre four days ago. The 25-year-old from LaSalle, Ontario was beaten to the wall by Australia's Kaylee McKeown. Here's a roundup.
TOKYO -- Gasping for breath after racing to her second silver medal of the Tokyo Games, Canadian swimmer Kylie Masse neatly summed up what it must be like to be an Olympian.The 25-year-old from LaSalle, Ont., was describing something very specific -- the 200-metre backstroke, the race she'd just completed in a Canadian record time of two minutes 5.42 seconds -- but her sentiments likely ring true for many elite athletes who empty the tank in pursuit of Olympic glory.
The work paid off Saturday, with Masse touching the wall just behind Australian star swimmer Kaylee McKeown. Ware, 28, from Greenfield Park, Que., impressed in the preliminary round of the women's three-metre springboard, qualifying in fourth place -- a position she maintained through the first three rounds of Saturday's semifinal.
Ware's teammate, Jennifer Abel of Laval, Que., was more successful, finishing an impressive third in the semis to book her ticket to the final, where she'll be looking for her first career medal in a solo event. "I know I'm still well on the outside looking in, but I do have a chance and you always have a chance until the last shot," said Hughes after his round. "I'm going to give it all I have tomorrow and we'll see what happens."
