While you were sleeping: How Canada performed at Tokyo Olympics Monday, Tuesday
Here’s what you may have missed from the day of competition.Fresh off his bronze medal win in the 100-metre dash over the weekend, Andre De Grasse proved he’s not done in Tokyo after placing third in his qualifying heat of the men’s 200-metre sprint.
Fellow Canadian Aaron Brown did even better, finishing first in his heat. Both Brown and De Grasse are set to race in the semifinals later Tuesday morning.Brendon Rodney placed sixth in his own qualifying heat and did not join De Grasse and Brown in the next round. Kyra Constantine’s fifth-place finish in her heat of the women’s 400-metre qualifiers was fast enough for her to move into Wednesday’s semifinals. She won’t be joined by Natassha McDonald, however, who finished last in her heat.
Elizabeth Gleadle missed out on the women’s javelin throw final after placing 11th in the qualifying round.The women’s team of Allison Beveridge, Jasmin Duehring, Annie Foreman-Mackey and Georgia Simmerling defeated the French team in their first round heat.
