The Paris Olympics are over. And so is a historic Games for Canada.

Summer McIntosh and Ethan Katzberg carried the Canadian flag into the closing ceremony of the Paris Games on Sunday after headlining Canada91裸聊视频檚 record-breaking medal haul at the Olympics.

Hundreds of other Canadian athletes poured in minutes after the duo, leading two groups into the 80,000-capacity Stade de France.

McIntosh, the 17-year-old swimmer from Toronto, won four medals in the pool and became Canada91裸聊视频檚 first triple gold-medallist, while also adding a silver. She set two Olympic records in Paris 91裸聊视频� in the women91裸聊视频檚 200-metre butterfly (2:03.03) and the women91裸聊视频檚 200 individual medley (2:06.56).

The 22-year-old Katzberg, of Nanaimo, claimed Canada91裸聊视频檚 first gold in men91裸聊视频檚 hammer throw with the largest margin of victory in the event since Antwerp 1920.

91裸聊视频淚 think the main thing that91裸聊视频檚 going to take the longest to sink in is being flag-bearer,91裸聊视频� McIntosh said after her historic Games. 91裸聊视频淚t is such an honour and once-in-a-lifetime (experience).91裸聊视频�

Canada91裸聊视频檚 nine gold medals and 27 total medals were both records for the country at a non-boycotted Summer Olympics, surpassing previous highs set in Tokyo three years ago and in the 1992 Barcelona Games.

Canada also finished with seven silver medals and 11 bronze, and was ranked 11th in both number of gold medals and overall total among 84 countries that took home hardware.

Canadian Olympic Committee chief executive officer David Shoemaker said the performances of Canadian athletes helped turn around a turbulent start to the Games, which were initially rocked by a drone spying scandal in women91裸聊视频檚 soccer.

91裸聊视频淚 felt that it was a tarnish at the beginning of the Games for us and now I can sit here nearly three weeks later and feel that the athletes on the field of play have done an enormous amount of good to remedy that situation (including) the soccer players themselves,91裸聊视频� he said at a press conference at Canada Olympic House.

The final day of competition saw Malindi Elmore of Kelowna, running a season91裸聊视频檚 best 2:31:08 in the women91裸聊视频檚 marathon to finish 35th overall. Elmore, 44, debuted back at the 2004 Athens Games as a track athlete, before converting to a long-distance runner later in her career.

The American women91裸聊视频檚 basketball team won the final competition of the Games with a 67-66 victory over France in the gold-medal game.

The win helped the U.S. tie China for the most gold medals with 40. The Americans easily won the total medal count with 126, while China came in second with 91.

Meanwhile, Maple Ridge91裸聊视频檚 Maggie Coles-Lyster made it to the women91裸聊视频檚 omnium final in track cycling, finishing ninth with 101 points.

Defending Olympic champion Kelsey Mitchell, who did not advance to Sunday91裸聊视频檚 final in the women91裸聊视频檚 individual sprint, finished last in the race determining fifth through eighth positions.

Five of Canada91裸聊视频檚 medals came from track and field athletes.
