Most recently, Canada finished 11th in the final table at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics with 24 medals, including seven gold medals, seven silver medals, and 10 bronze medals.
Some of the Canadian gold medalists from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics include Andre De Grasse in running, Maggie Mac Neil in swimming, and Damian Warner in the decathlon. All of those athletes will be competing at this year’s Paris 2024 games.
