Canadian divers Rylan Wiens and Nathan Zasombor-Murray have won a bronze medal in the 10m synchro diving at the ongoing Olympic Games in France.

Vanessa Gilles scored the winning goal despite being injured. Before this, Canada's team defeated New Zealand's team 2-1 in the group match last Thursday, but later FIFA deducted 6 points from the team in the case of spying with drones. Now the Canada team's spirits have been boosted by the victory against France.
