Team Canada’s athletes are being welcomed home now that the torch at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games has been extinguished.
The athletes spent more than two weeks in Japan competing while overcoming numerous obstacles to bring in the country’s highest medal count at a non-boycotted Games.
Team Canada racked up 24 medals, including seven gold, and ranked 11th overall in the standings. That stands only behind the boycotted Los Angeles Games of 1984 (10 gold, 44 overall).
The Canadian Olympic Committee was hosting a homecoming event in Toronto on Thursday for some of the athletes who are ready to spend the next little while with their families basking in the glow of their accomplishments.
