What a summer it has been for Team Canada at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Following a whirlwind two weeks of awe-inspiring competition and record-breaking athletic achievements, Sunday evening’s Closing Ceremony drew the Paris Games to a close–before the Paralympics start later this month, that is–and our Canadian Olympians have much to celebrate.

Team Canada leaves the city of lights having won 27 medals across 15 sports, making this summer’s Olympics the nation’s most successful non-boycotted Summer Games of all time. And more than half of those medals were won by powerhouse women like swimmer Summer McIntosh, hammer thrower Camryn Rogers and pole vaulter Alysha Newman.

Read on to learn more about the remarkable Canadian women who helped push Team Canada to a historic victory in Paris this summer.

Summer McIntosh

Seventeen-year-old swimming sensation Summer McIntosh kicked off the Games in the pool early with a silver medal win in the 400-metre freestyle—but she was only just getting started. The Torontonian went on to secure three gold medals in the 400-metre individual medley, 200-metre butterfly and the 200-metre individual medley, setting two Olympic records along the way. In addition, McIntosh now holds the record for the most medals won by a Canadian athlete at one Olympic Summer Games, and the most gold medals won by a Canadian at a single Olympic Games overall.

Camryn Rogers

Hammer throw champion Camryn Rogers made history when she became the first Canadian woman to medal in this Olympic event, winning gold no less in Paris. This made her Canada’s first gold medallist in a women’s athletics event in nearly a century. (Her teammate in the men’s competition, Ethan Katzberg, also won gold, making Canada the second country ever to win both the men’s and women’s hammer throw events at the same Games.)

Christa Deguchi

Competing in the women’s under-57 kilogram judo event at her first Olympics, 28-year-old judoka Christa Deguchi claimed Canada’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in judo.

Katie Vincent

When Katie Vincent won gold in the women’s canoe sprint C1 200-metre event, she secured Canada’s eighth gold medal and 25th medal overall, breaking the country’s non-boycotted Olympic Summer Games record. She also set her own Olympic record time of 44.12 in the race, and became the first Canadian woman to win gold in canoe-kayak.

Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson

At the beach volleyball final, dynamic duo Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson took on Brazil and played for gold for the first time in the sport’s Canadian Olympic history. The Canadian women won silver and claimed the country’s second-ever beach volleyball medal. The first was won in 1996 when, as Humana-Paredes told ELLE Canada, her father coached that year’s bronze medal winners to victory. How’s that for a full circle moment?

Maude Charron

This summer, weightlifter Maude Charron clinched her second straight Olympic medal. She won silver in the women’s 59-kilogram event in Paris.

Women’s Rugby Sevens

In a thrilling match against New Zealand, the Canadian women’s rugby sevens team secured a silver medal with a final game score of 19-12. This historic second-place finish was Team Canada’s best-ever women’s rugby sevens result at the Olympics.

Women’s Eight Rowing

Making the podium once again, the Canadian women’s eight clinched their second-straight Olympic medal with a silver-place finish at the end of the 2000m rowing course.

Alysha Newman

At her third Olympic Games, newly minted bronze medallist Alysha Newman broke her own Canadian record by two centimetres in the pole vault final with a successful 4.85-metre result. She is the first Canadian woman to medal in this event.

Sophiane Méthot

Gymnast Sophiane Méthot of Quebec made her Olympic debut this summer and secured a bronze medal in the women’s trampoline event.

Kylie Masse

In the pool, swimmer Kylie Masse won bronze for Team Canada in the 200-metre backstroke event. This win makes Masse the first Canadian swimmer to win an individual medal at three consecutive Olympic Games.

Gabriela Dabrowski

Three-time Olympian Gaby Dabrowski made up half of the Canadian mixed doubles tennis team (alongside Félix Auger-Aliassime), who clinched the bronze medal at Roland Garros. Winning straight sets, it was Canada’s first medal in the mixed doubles event—and only its second ever in tennis overall.

Skylar Park

Twenty-five-year-old Skylar Park placed third in the women’s 57-kilogram taekwondo event, wearing a bronze medal for Team Canada on the podium.

Eleanor Harvey

With a historic third-place finish, Eleanor Harvey of Hamilton, Ont., clinched Canada’s first-ever Olympic medal for fencing. The 29-year-old beat out Italy’s Alice Volpi to bring home the bronze.

Sloan MacKenzie

Alongside Katie Vincent, canoeist Sloan MacKenzie paddled to a bronze victory in the women’s doubles 500-metre sprint canoe final in Paris.
