Canada earned seven gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, the nation’s highest total at the Summer Games since 1992. Is even more success in store in 2024?
There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the present and future for Canada at the Summer Olympics. Some of the nation’s all-time great track and field athletes are ready to compete for gold again, led by sprinter Andre De Grasse, while Canadian basketball is on the rise with a men’s team that is loaded with NBA talent and has serious medal hopes.
The most impressive athlete representing Canada in Paris just might be 17-year-old swimmer Summer McIntosh, who earned her first Olympic medal on the opening day of swimming competition and is expected to contend for multiple gold medals.
Any more than seven gold medals would give Canada its highest gold total in at least 40 years, so the stakes are high for this group of athletes.
Here’s a look at the updated gold medal count for Canada at the 2024 Olympics.
