Team Canada made us proud at the Paris Summer Olympics. For 19 days, our athletes ran and jumped and threw. They swam and dove, rowed and paddled. They served and spiked, spun and kicked, flipped and fought.

Their years of hard work and practice paid off. Canada brought home 27 medals. That’s a Canadian record for Games that no country boycotted. Nine of those medals were gold, another record.
