Team Canada Day 4

Canada has a chance to win gold in both judo and swimming for the second straight day on Tuesday. Here’s a look at Canada’s top medal contenders on Day 4 of the Paris Games (all times Eastern).

Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard, Women’s Judo 63-kg (first fight 4 a.m., medal round begins at 10 a.m.)

Beauchemin-Pinard is competing for her second Olympic medal after taking home bronze in the 63-kg division in Tokyo. She also won silver at the world championships in 2022.

As the No. 2 ranked judoka in her division, she’s earned a bye into the round of 16. Beauchemin-Pinard will look to win Canada’s second Judo medal in Paris after Christa Deguchi won gold in the 57-kg division on Monday.

François Gauthier-Drapeau, Men’s Judo 81-kg (same time as women’s Judo)

Gauthier-Drapeau is also a medal hopeful as the fifth-ranked judoka in his division. He won a gold medal at last year’s Pan American Games and silver in 2024.

Gymnastics, Women’s team final (12:15 p.m.)

Canada is looking for their first-ever Olympic medal in women’s artistic gymnastics after placing sixth in qualifying. The Canadian women’s team won bronze at the 2022 world championships in a bit of an upset.

Rugby sevens, Women’s medal rounds (semifinals vs. Australia at 10 a.m.)

Chloe Davis scored with under a minute left to break a tie and upset host France (ranked No. 3 in the world) on Monday to guarantee Canada a chance to play for a medal on Tuesday. Canada won bronze at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, but they failed to make it out of the group stage in Tokyo.

The fifth-ranked Canadians will face No. 2 Australia in the semifinals. The loser plays for bronze at 1 p.m., while the gold medal game is at 1:45 p.m.. Top-ranked New Zealand and the United States are playing in the other semifinal game.

Kylie Masse and Ingrid Wilm, Women’s swimming 100-metre backstroke final (2:56 p.m.)

Masse had the fifth-fastest time during Monday’s semifinals. A three-time backstroke world champion, Masse also won three medals at the Tokyo Olympics (silver in the 100-m and 200-m backstroke and bronze in the 4 x 100-m medley) and one medal at the Rio Olympics (bronze in the 100 metre backstroke).

Wilm qualified for her first Olympic final after placing sixth in the semis. She won three bronze medals at the 2024 world championships (50-m backstroke, 100-metre backstroke and 4 x 100-m medley).
