With the opening ceremony in the rear-view mirror, the medals start being handed out on the first full day of competition on Saturday at the Paris Olympics.
Here’s a look at five athletes/teams to watch, followed by the full schedule (all times Eastern).
Summer McIntosh
Expectations are high for the 17-year-old Canadian swimmer. So high that Canadian Olympic Committee boss David Shoemaker said he hoped McIntosh swimming on Saturday could be good “medicine” for a country in the midst of a soccer cheating scandal.
The Toronto native swims in the women’s 400-metre freestyle with heats at 5:12 a.m. and the final at 2:52 p.m. This is not her best event, however, and it’s a stacked field. McIntosh finished fourth at the world championship in this event last year.
Maggie Mac Neil
The Canadian swimmer begins her quest to defend her women’s 100-metre butterfly gold medal with heats at 5 a.m. and semifinals at 2:30 p.m.
The London native won silver at this event last year at the world championships.
Canadian men’s basketball team
An extremely talented Canadian squad begins its first Olympics since 2000 with a showdown against Giannis Antetokounmpo and Greece at 3 p.m. Led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Canada is seen as a medal threat, but the same can be said for many of the teams in the 12-squad field. The United States is the favourite.
Felix Auger-Aliassime
It hasn’t been the greatest year for the Montreal tennis player, but he is the highest-ranked Canadian in the singles field. The No. 13 seed opens play at Roland Garros against American Marcos Giron around 8:30 a.m. Canadians Leylah Fernandez, in singles and doubles with Gabriela Dabrowski, and Bianca Andreescu also take to the clay courts.
Derek Gee
The Ottawa cyclist is coming off an impressive ninth-place finish in the Tour de France. He competes in the men’s individual time trial at 10:32 a.m.
