Canada's won a 'freaking historic' bronze medal in women's rugby 7s.
Kelly Russell (above) and the Canadian women's rugby sevens team beat Great Britain 33-10 to win the bronze medal on Monday at the Rio Olympics. Captain Jen Kish called the win — Canada's first ever Olympic rugby medal — a "freaking historic moment" sure to raise the profile of the sport at home.
Many on Twitter posting under the hashtag #rugbysevens agreed, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (although not quite in those words).
Swimmer Kylie Masse surprised the field, and herself.
In a moment that will look like déjà vu for anyone who watched Penny Oleksiak swim to a silver medal the day before, Masse reacted with a look of surprise in the pool. She won Canada's fourth medal of the Rio Olympics after touching the wall at exactly the same time as China's Fu Yuanhui with a time of 58.76 seconds in the 100-metre backstroke.
