Tokyo Olympics: Maggie Mac Neil wins Canada’s first gold medal in 100m butterfly

Canada's women continue to bring home victories at the Tokyo Olympics, with Margaret Mac Neil earning the country its first gold medal with her swimming performance at the 100-metre butterfly and Jessica Klimkait winning bronze in judo. Mac Neil also set a Canadian record in her performance.

Both of Canada's flag bearers also saw action, with Nathan Hirayama joining his team in a rugby game against Fiji and Miranda Ayim and the women's basketball team pressing Serbia, the European champions, until the very end with a loss of 72-68.

A false start was also declared Monday in the triathlon after a boat blocked the way for several competitors but the event did eventually get underway.

Crystal Goomansingh reports on all the action from the latest day of the Games.
