This time Canada earned everything they got on their road to a second consecutive Olympic podium finish.
When Canadians remember the London Olympics, their memories undoubtedly turn first to Women’s Soccer. It was the story of those games for Canada, as their impassioned run to a bronze medal captured the attention of the country from coast to coast.
Despite winning another bronze medal again today, that won’t be the case in Rio. Canadians are more likely to remember these Olympics for Penny Oleksiak, or Derek Drouin, or Andre Degrasse. The Canadian women never got the same spotlight that they did four years ago.
