Canada's sporting future is looking bright after the Paris 2024 Olympics, with a 27-medal haulthat set a record for a non-boycotted Games. The stars for Canada included plenty of young talent like swimmer and four-time medallist Summer McIntosh, who at only 17 years old is expected to lead the team into Los Angeles in 2028.

“Couldn’t be prouder of these girls for finishing such a great week for Canada in the pool,” she wrote, alongside a photo of her cheering poolside. “No one else I’d rather swim my last Olympic race with.” “When I take this jersey off, I hope that I left it better than I found it,” she said. “And that everyone back home knows that every time I put it on, I did it with the utmost amount of pride and passion.”
“I’m just looking forward to taking a rest but also still continuing as long as my body can handle it and I’m finding joy and I have goals I want to achieve,” she said as her competition wrapped. After pulling out from the competition, Warner told a press conference that he felt he still loved the decathlon and had more to give. “I feel like I still have so much to improve on in the sport and I plan on doing this sport until that goes away,” he said. However, he acknowledged that at age 34, it’s unclear how much longer that will be.
