RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Canada's players gathered on their knees at one end of the court over the Olympic rings, taking it in together for a final time. Their special Rio run was over, but Blair Cameron Bann was already turning his attention to four years from now.
The team's libero offered this to his dejected, overachieving teammates: "What do we got to do for 2020?"
After their huddle, the players thanked their cheering fans at Maracanazinho arena and the supporters back home who embraced their strides in a sport that falls below other beloved ones there such as hockey or curling.
